1 Although the activation of GABAergic neurons may be responsible for the chief pharmacologic effect of valproate, recent studies have shown that valproate also suppresses GSK3beta activity. Valproic Acid glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta Mus musculus
2 While mice treated with morphine developed tolerance, co-administration of valproate attenuated the development of tolerance and impaired the activation of GSK3beta in mice brains. Valproic Acid glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta Mus musculus
3 These results suggest that the modulation of GSK3beta activity by valproate may be useful and may play a role in the prevention of morphine tolerance. Valproic Acid glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta Mus musculus
