Biotin enzyme induction

There are no studies on how AEDs may reduce the levels of biotin, but the association with inducer AEDs suggests that liver enzyme induction may be of importance. [Pg.548]

Biotin is the coenzyme in a small number of carboxylation reactions in mammalian metabolism and some decarboxylation and transcarboxylation reactions in bacteria. Although the biotin-dependent enzymes are cytosolic and mitochondrial, about 25% of tissue biotin is found in the nucleus, much of it bound as thioesters to histones. Biotin has two noncoenzyme functions induction of enzyme synthesis and regulation of the cell cycle. [Pg.329]

Biotin deficiency in experimental animals is teratogenic, and a number of the resultant birth defects resemble human birth defects. Up to half of pregnant women have elevated excretion of 3-hydroxy-isovaleric acid (Section 11.4), which responds to supplements of biotin, in the first trimester, suggesting that marginal stams may be common in early pregnancy and may be a factor in the etiology of some birth defects. This may be the result of increased catabolism of biotin as a result of steroid induction of biotin catabolic enzymes there is increased excretion of bisnorbiotin and biotin sulfoxide (Zempleni and Mock, 2000a Mock et al., 2002). [Pg.340]
