Sodium valproate (VPA), a branched short-chain fatty acid, always causes a hyperammonemia of renal origin in fasting man. The intake of medium-length, straight-chain fatty acids abolishes the VPA-induced hyperammonemia, and VPA free fraction increases concomitantly. Accordingly, fatty acids could be useful in preventing and treating hyperammonemia-accompanied stuporous states which are complications of VPA medication.
丙戊酸钠（VPA）是一种支链短链脂肪酸，在空腹的人身上总会引发肾源性高氨血症。摄入中链直链脂肪酸可消除VPA诱导的高氨血症，同时VPA的游离部分会相应增加。因此，脂肪酸可能有助于预防和治疗作为VPA药物治疗并发症的伴有高氨血症的昏迷状态。
