This aspect highlights the need for careful interpretation of experimental findings, particularly when activity is reported ( Weight of evidence: Overall evidence is Low given potential assay-interference and PK constraints
Participants also tolerated the oral medication well, with mild to moderate gastrointestinal side effects
Gene expression on BDNF and SK-3 was quantified using real-time PCR, revealing that VPA reduced the expression BDNF, which plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival, and increased GSK-3, which is involved in neurodevelopment and neuroinflammation whereas crocin dose-dependently normalized both markers (Hosseini et al., 2025)
