Conclusions: The higher PASH prevalence in premenopausal woman (the majority of whom are actively taking oral contraceptive pills), in …% to 47% of men with gynecomastia and during pregnancy supports a hormonal etiology; the interaction between clonazepam, valproate , risperidone and progesterone could … the level of progesterone that could … PASH growth.

This result suggests that VPA increases mitochondrial cholesterol transport through a StAR-independent mechanism and is further supported by the fact that in isolated mitochondria VPA stimulates exogenous cholesterol metabolization to progesterone.
VPA also reduces the cAMP-mediated increase of the StAR protein, mRNA levels, promoter activity and progesterone production.
