valproic acid and Blastocyst Disintegration

valproic acid has been researched along with Blastocyst Disintegration in 2 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the current study, we wanted to extend our findings and test the hypothesis that Folbp2(-/-) mice are more susceptible to the teratogenic effects of valproic acid (VPA), a commonly used antiepileptic drug that is known to induce neural tube defects (NTDs) in both humans and laboratory animals."3.72Valproate-induced neural tube defects in folate-binding protein-2 (Folbp2) knockout mice. ( Finnell, RH; Merriweather, MY; Spiegelstein, O; Wicker, NJ, 2003)
"Valproic acid (VPA) is an anticonvulsant drug that is widely used therapeutically for a variety of neurological conditions."1.33Myo-inositol enhances teratogenicity of valproic acid in the mouse. ( Finnell, RH; Giavini, E; Massa, V; Wlodarczyk, B, 2006)
