Post-ictal serum NT-pro CNP levels were lower in epileptic seizures compared to psychogenic non-epileptic seizures as well as healthy controls. We think that such a difference is associated with C-type natriuretic peptide-related neural mechanisms such as altered microcirculation, increased brain-blood barrier permeability, and synaptic stabilization.
