valproic acid and Glycogen Storage Disease Type V

valproic acid has been researched along with Glycogen Storage Disease Type V 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.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type V: Glycogenosis due to muscle phosphorylase deficiency. Characterized by painful cramps following sustained exercise.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"McArdle disease, also termed 'glycogen storage disease type V', is a disorder of skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism caused by inherited deficiency of the muscle-specific isoform of glycogen phosphorylase (GP-MM)."3.81Sodium valproate increases the brain isoform of glycogen phosphorylase: looking for a compensation mechanism in McArdle disease using a mouse primary skeletal-muscle culture in vitro. ( Andreu, AL; Arenas, J; Brull, A; de Luna, N; Guiu, JM; Lucia, A; Martí, R; Martin, MA; Pinós, T, 2015)
"McArdle disease is due to an absence of the enzyme muscle glycogen phosphorylase and results in significant physical impairment in humans."1.42Investigating sodium valproate as a treatment for McArdle disease in sheep. ( Creed, KE; Dunton, E; Howell, JM; Quinlivan, R; Sewry, C, 2015)
