Effects of intermittent levetiracetam dosing in a patient with refractory daily seizures.

abstract：:There are several reports of a defect of complex I in the substantia nigra (SN) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. To evaluate whether this is specific to dopaminergic neurons or the phenotypically relevant consequence of a widespread failure of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, we measur...
