Epilepsy and depression are common conditions and often they occur together. Approximately, 40-60% people with epilepsy are affected with depressive symptoms [1]. This is a review article highlighting a strong association between two entities. The main idea behind this review article is to encourage practitioners to keep a close eye on symptoms of depression in people with epilepsy and to treat them accordingly which can impact positively on their quality of life.","PeriodicalId":93132,"journal":{"name":"Open access journal of toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42517485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rupture of these plaques causes local thrombosis, leading to occlusion of the affected artery [1]. The principle clinical manifestations of the disease include ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease [2]. This has become the significant cause of vascular disease worldwide and number one cause of global mortality [3]. According to WHO report, around 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2015 which represents 31% of the total global deaths [4]. The major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia, indicating elevation of body’s Total Cholesterol (TC) and LowDensity Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels [4]. Therefore, foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol are particularly responsible for the surge of circulating cholesterol levels [5].","PeriodicalId":93132,"journal":{"name":"Open access journal of toxicology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48142336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
