Increased brain lactate is central to the development of brain edema in rats with chronic liver disease
Bosoi, Cristina R.; Zwingmann, Claudia; Marin, Helen A.; Parent-Robitaille, Christian; Huynh, Jimmy; Tremblay, Mélanie; Rose, Christopher (2014)The pathogenesis of brain edema in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and minimal hepatic encephalopathy (HE) remains undefined. This study evaluated the role of brain lactate, glutamine and organic osmolytes, including myo-inositol and taurine, ... -
Le rôle de la barrière hémato-encéphalique dans la pathogénèse de l'oedème chez des rats souffrant d'insuffisance hépatique chronique
Huynh, Jimmy (2011-11-03)L’œdème cérébral est une complication associée à l’encéphalopathie hépatique (EH) lors d’une insuffisance hépatique chronique (cirrhose du foie). Présentement, l’origine de sa pathogenèse, vasogénique (rupture de la barrière hémato-encéphalique (BHE)) ... -
Systemic oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of brain edema in rats with chronic liver failure
