“ Valproate markedly stimulated glutamine removal as well as … formation of ammonia, aspartate, pyruvate, lactate, alanine and glucose; the increase in ammonia formation was explained by a stimulation by valproate of flux not … through glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2) but also through glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3).”
“ Valproate strikingly reduced the renal cortical concentrations of glutamine, glutamate, alphaketoglutarate and citrate, and more modestly those of malate, oxaloacetate, aspartate, alanine and ATP.”
