Unlabelled: Valproic acid (VPA) demonstrates teratogenic effects during pregnancy. Prenatal exposure to VPA may result in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) -like phenotypes. Apigenin, a natural flavonoid, has been shown to have neuroprotective impacts due to its antioxidant properties.

Article Synopsis
  • Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental conditions marked by social skill deficits and abnormal sensory responses, with an imbalance of excitation and inhibition in the brain being a crucial factor.
  • This study examined the levels of key neurotransmitters (GABA, glutamate, and serotonin) in the thalamus of rats induced with ASD using valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy.
  • Results showed that ASD rats had higher serotonin levels, altered thalamic volumes, and fewer thalamic neurons and glia compared to the control group, suggesting a disrupted neurotransmitter balance in the thalamus related to ASD.

The risk factors for liver injury induced by valproic acid (VPA) are not well understood, and no predictive tool currently exists to identify patients at risk. This study aims to explore these risk factors and develop a predictive model. We collected medical data from patients treated with VPA between January 1, 2020, and October 31, 2023.

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by social skill deficits and behavior impairments. Exposure to valproic acid (VPA) has been linked to ASD in humans and ASD-like behaviors in rodents. Clinical evidence suggests that immunological damage can worsen ASD symptoms in humans.

Valproic acid (VPA) is a well-known and increasingly documented antiepileptic drug that has been widely used in the treatment of epilepsy and/or epilepsy-related disorders. Prolonged clinical use of VPA has been reported to cause side effects such as nephrotoxicity. Edaravone (EDA) is a powerful free radical scavenger.
