Figure 1 Kyn/trp ratio in control subjects and in patients with different epilepsy syndromes. SEM, standard error of mean; TLE (HS−), temporal lobe epilepsy but no hippocampal sclerosis; TLE (HS+), temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis; extra-TLE, extra-temporal lobe epilepsy; multifocal, multifocal epilepsy; IGE, unclassified idiopathic epilepsy; JME, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. *IDO activity was increased in the patients with JME (p=0.04) and unclassified IGE (p=0.05) compared to the control subjects.
