phenobarbital and Hyperhomocysteinemia

phenobarbital has been researched along with Hyperhomocysteinemia in 3 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

Hyperhomocysteinemia: Condition in which the plasma levels of homocysteine and related metabolites are elevated (

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Hyperhomocysteinemia was defined as fasting total Hcy above 12 micromol/L and/or post-methionine load concentrations above 38 micromol/L."3.74Drug-induced pertubation of the aminothiol redox-status in patients with epilepsy: improvement by B-vitamins. ( Apeland, T; Frøyland, ES; Kristensen, O; Mansoor, MA; Strandjord, RE, 2008)
"Our data indicate that not only fasting but also 6h-PML tHcy levels should be determined in order to identify hyperhomocysteinemia among patients on AEDs."3.70Homocysteine concentrations and methionine loading in patients on antiepileptic drugs. ( Apeland, T; Kristensen, O; Mansoor, MA; Strandjord, RE, 2000)
