valproic acid and Low Bone Density

valproic acid has been researched along with Low Bone Density in 13 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.

"To determine whether long-term treatment with valproate (VPA) and/or lamotrigine (LTG) in children with epilepsy is associated with altered growth and/or bone metabolism."7.71Long-term valproate and lamotrigine treatment may be a marker for reduced growth and bone mass in children with epilepsy. ( Atkinson, SA; Guo, CY; Ronen, GM, 2001)
" Reported is a 16-year-old man with intractable epilepsy and an 11-year history of chronic hyponatraemia (126-135 mEq/L) due to valproic acid induced syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis who sustained low-impact fragility fractures and had evidence of osteopaenia on both X-ray and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)."3.91Fragility fractures and reversible osteopaenia due to chronic hyponatraemia in an adolescent male. ( Ayus, JC; Moritz, ML; Patel, M, 2019)
" We previously reported biochemical evidence of increased bone turnover in premenopausal women with epilepsy on phenytoin monotherapy compared with those on carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and valproate."3.74Bone health in young women with epilepsy after one year of antiepileptic drug monotherapy. ( McMahon, DJ; Morrell, MJ; Pack, AM; Randall, A; Shane, E, 2008)

( Atkinson, SA; Guo, CY; Ronen, GM, 2001)
"Valproic acid (VPA) is a broad-spectrum antiepileptic drug, which is widely used as a first line treatment for idiopathic and symptomatic generalized epilepsy, as well as in non-epileptic psychiatric disorders in adult and pediatric patients."2.55The effect of VPA on bone: From clinical studies to cell cultures-The molecular mechanisms revisited. ( Pitetzis, DA; Spilioti, MG; Yavropoulou, MP; Yovos, JG, 2017)
"For patients with mental retardation or developmental delay, 25(OH)D3 levels were lower than the levels in patients with normal intelligence quotient levels (p=0."1.40Vitamin D levels in children and adolescents with antiepileptic drug treatment. ( Baek, JH; Eun, BL; Kim, GH; Kim, MK; Seo, YH, 2014)
"We evaluated the cross-sectional relationship of duration and dosage of valproate monotherapy on bone mineral density (BMD) in adult patients with epilepsy."1.36Effect of long-term valproate monotherapy on bone mineral density in adults with epilepsy.
