Abstract excerpt
Valproic acid (VPA) is a potent broad spectrum anticonvulsant with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of Bipolar Affective Disorder, but the biochemical basis for VPA's antimanic or mood-stabilizing actions have not been fully elucidated. It has been demonstrated that VPA, at therapeutically...
