valproic acid and Body Weight, Fetal

valproic acid has been researched along with Body Weight, Fetal in 5 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
"Valproic acid, a drug commonly used to treat seizures and other psychiatric disorders, causes neural tube defects (NTDs) in exposed fetuses at a rate 20 times higher than in the general population."3.73Valproic acid-induced fetal malformations are reduced by maternal immune stimulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or interferon-gamma. ( Holladay, SD; Hrubec, TC; Salafia, CM; Yan, M; Ye, K, 2006)
" The supplier group was much more sensitive to these toxic effects."1.34Valproate-induced developmental neurotoxicity is affected by maternal conditions including shipping stress and environmental change during early pregnancy. ( Hori, Y; Kuwagata, M; Ogawa, T; Shioda, S, 2007)
"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)
