Abstract
The main effects of VPA on bone metabolism involve a decrease in osteoblast proliferation, changes in collagen synthesis as well as an induction of vitamin D catabolism. Apart from these direct actions of VPA in bone, indirect effects affecting other endocrine organs also contribute to VPA-induced bone loss.
