Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions between common antiepileptic drugs and acetone, the chief anticonvulsant ketone body elevated in the ketogenic diet in mice.

abstract：:Sleep is a modulator of seizure activity, and many antiepileptic drugs are modulators of sleep. Can influences on sleep organization be involved in antiepileptic drug action, and can these partly account for differences in drug response of various epileptic syndromes? Much more exact data must be collected before thes...
