Valproic Acid 10-19 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 40-53 16192836-2 2005 The present study aimed to determine whether there is a treatment effect of valproate on plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL)-6, in healthy male humans. Valproic Acid 76-85 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 137-155 16192836-3 2005 Plasma levels of IL-6 were measured in 10 healthy male humans before and after 7 days of treatment with 1000 mg per day of valproate (i.e. 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg in the evening). Valproic Acid 123-132 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 17-21 16192836-9 2005 We found a significant increase in plasma levels of IL-6 after the 7 days of valproate treatment in healthy male subjects. Valproic Acid 77-86 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 52-56 16192836-10 2005 Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between the changes in plasma IL-6 and blood levels of valproic acid. Valproic Acid 113-126 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 88-92 16192836-11 2005 The findings of this study are consistent with previous studies on subjects with epilepsy, suggesting a modulating effect of valproate on the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in humans. Valproic Acid 125-134 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 168-172
