| Abstract | The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hepatotoxicity, levels of glucuronide conjugates of valproic acid (VPA), and the toxic metabolites of VPA (4-ene VPA and 2,4-diene VPA). We also examined whether hepatotoxicity could be predicted by the urinary excretion levels of VPA and its toxic metabolites. VPA was administrated orally in rats in amounts ranging from 20 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg. Free and total (free plus glucuronide conjugated) VPA, 4-ene VPA, and 2,4-diene VPA were quantified in urine and liver using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alpha-glutathione S-transferase (alpha-GST) were also determined to measure the level of hepatotoxicity. The serum alpha-GST level increased slightly at the 20 mg/kg dose, and substantially increased at the 100 and 500 mg/kg dose; aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels did not change with the administration of increasing doses of VPA. The liver concentration of free 4-ene VPA and the urinary excretion of total 4-ene VPA were the only measures that correlated with the increase in the serum alpha-GST level (p < 0.094 and p < 0.023 respectively). From these results, we conclude that hepatotoxicity of VPA correlates with liver concentration of 4-ene VPA and can be predicted by the urinary excretion of total 4-ene VPA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
