Valproic acid influences the expression of genes implicated with hyperglycaemia-induced complement and coagulation pathways

Abstract Because the liver plays a major role in metabolic homeostasis and secretion of clotting factors and inflammatory innate immune proteins, there is interest in understanding the mechanisms of hepatic cell activation under hyperglycaemia and whether this can be attenuated pharmacologically. We...
