Quantification of DA and 4-dihydroxy phenylacetic acid (DOPAC) We analyzed the levels of DA and DOPAC in the striatum using a high-performance liquid chromatography instrument (HPLC) (1260 Infinity, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with an electrochemical detector (Coulochem III, Thermo Fisher Scientific) [32]
In summary, the action of valproate in neural systems is complex, with one aspect including downregulation of PKC signaling, which overlaps with symptom amelioration of manic states in animal models, suggesting that modulation of PKC overactivity is a mechanism that is favored by valproate
I also avoid throwing it into every active-heavy formula just because the ingredient name sounds impressive
