Valerate sodium
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Valerate sodium is the sodium salt of valeric acid, a short-chain fatty acid, and exhibits oral activity. Valerate sodium reduces binge ethanol intake and decreases blood ethanol concentration in mice, while also exerting anxiolytic effects. Valerate sodium increases GABA levels, regulates epigenetics and alters gut microbiome function. Valerate sodium can be used in research related to excessive alcohol consumption.

Result:Reduced ethanol consumption by 40%.
Lowered blood ethanol concentration by 53%.
Increased percentage of time spent in the center of the open field and number of center entries, with no change in total distance traveled.
Elevated GABA levels in stool and amygdala.
Increased H4 histone acetylation in the amygdala.
Induced significant changes in amygdala gene expression, including upregulation of Kcna10, Pln, and Gpr56, and downregulation of Ptgs2, Mapks, and Gpr158; associated pathways included glutamate degradation, L-DOPA degradation, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Altered gut microbiome composition, with increased abundance of genera Ileibacterium and Dubosiella; reduced gut-brain module activity for GABA degradation and 7 other neuroactive compound pathways.
No significant effects on body weight, food intake, or fluid intake compared to controls.
