Genetically engineered E. coli Nissle attenuates hyperammonemia and prevents memory impairment in bile‐duct ligated rats
(Wiley, 2021-02-06)
Hyperammonemia associated with chronic liver disease (CLD) is implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The gut is a major source of ammonia production that contributes to hyperammonemia in CLD and HE ...
Induction of systemic oxidative stress leads to brain oedema in portacaval shunted rats
(Wiley, 2013-11-25)
Background & Aims The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is multifactorial and often associated with the
development of brain oedema. In addition to ammonia playing a central role, systemic oxidative stress is ...
Elevated cerebral lactate : implications in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy
(Springer, 2014-06-11)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome, is a frequent complication of liver
failure/disease. Increased concentrations of lactate are commonly observed in HE patients, in the systemic circulation,
but ...
The bile duct ligated rat : a relevant model to study muscle mass loss in cirrhosis
(Springer, 2016-12)
Muscle mass loss and hepatic encephalopathy (complex neuropsychiatric disorder) are serious complications of chronic liver disease (cirrhosis) which impact negatively on clinical outcome and quality of life and increase ...
Increased brain lactate is central to the development of brain edema in rats with chronic liver disease
(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, ...
AST-120 (spherical carbon adsorbent) lowers ammonia levels and attenuates brain edema in bile duct-ligated rats
(2011)
The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy is multifactorial, involving gut-derived toxins such as ammonia, which has been demonstrated to induce oxidative stress. Therefore, a primary hepatic encephalopathy treatment ...
Portacaval anastomosis-induced hyperammonemia does not lead to oxidative stress
(2010-03)
Ammonia is neurotoxic and believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). It has been demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo, that acute and high ammonia treatment induces oxidative stress. ...
Identifying the direct effects of ammonia on the brain
(2009-03)
Elevated concentrations of ammonia in the brain as a result of hyperammonemia leads to cerebral dysfunction involving a spectrum of neuropsychiatric and neurological symptoms (impaired memory, shortened attention span, ...
Brain edema in acute liver failure and chronic liver disease: Similarities and differences
(2013)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that typically develops as a result of acute liver failure or chronic liver disease. Brain edema is a common feature associated with HE. In acute liver ...
Oxidative stress: a systemic factor implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy
(2013)
Although ammonia is considered the main factor involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), it correlates well with the severity of HE in acute liver failure, but not in chronic liver disease. Oxidative ...
