Wfs1 mutation makes mice sensitive to insulin-like effect of acute valproic acid and resistant to streptozocin.

Abstract excerpt

Valproic acid (VLP) is a widely used anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug that relieves the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a pathogenetic process related to diabetes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether acute valproic acid is able to interfere with glucose intolerance in two different diabetes models: The first model was a Wfs1 mutant mouse with an elevated ER stress response and...
