Evaluation of the Effects of Charged Amino Acids on Uncontrolled Seizures

Table 1

The rate of seizure attacks (one week before starting amino acid, first week after starting, second week, and ratio of second week to before starting).

Amino acid	Number	Before starting	First week	Second week	Ratio before/second	-test	value
Arginine	10	23.6 ± 16.2	21.6 ± 14.2	11.2 ± 11.5	0.47	3.139	0.013
Glutamic acid	11	31.3 ± 36.2	31.4 ± 36.5	18.54 ± 21.1	0.59	2.646	0.027
Lysine	11	11.4 ± 9.9	12.2 ± 13.7	10 ± 15.5	0.87	0.368	0.720
