Article Synopsis
  • VPA, commonly prescribed for psychiatric and neurological disorders, may cause kidney injury with chronic use; this study investigates the underlying mechanisms and potential protective strategies.
  • Rats were divided into groups for testing VPA-induced kidney damage and subsequent treatments with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) to assess their protective effects.
  • Results showed that VPA reduced antioxidant levels and increased inflammatory markers in kidneys, but IAA and CDCA effectively improved these conditions by enhancing antioxidant defenses and reducing inflammation.
