The association of serum LDL and HDL cholesterol with hepatic microsomal enzyme induction, assessed by plasma antipyrine kinetics was investigated in 30 epileptics. Patients on enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants had reduced LDL/HDL cholesterol ratios and elevated HDL cholesterol concentrations and HDL/total cholesterol ratios, indicating a cholesterol transfer from LDL to HDL. Strong hepatic microsomal enzyme induction was associated with reduced LDL cholesterol. The LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio was negatively proportional and the HDL/total cholesterol ratio positively proportional to the antipyrine clearance rate. Epileptics, particularly those with a high antipyrine clearance, had a cholesterol distribution pattern characteristic of a low probability of developing coronary atherosclerosis. The results support the view that hepatic microsomal enzyme induction favourably alters the cholesterol distribution in the body.
