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 ...
Astrocyte glutamine synthetase : pivotal in health and disease
(Portland Press, 2013)
The multifunctional properties of astrocytes signify their importance in brain physiology and neurological function. In addition to defining the brain architecture, astrocytes are primary elements of brain ion, pH and ...
Sex is associated with differences in oxidative stress and susceptibility to severe hepatic encephalopathy in bile-duct ligated rats
(Wiley, 2022-06-30)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a debilitating neurological complication of chronic liver disease (CLD). Hyperammonemia plays an important role in HE’s pathogenesis, acting synergistically with systemic oxidative stress. ...
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 ...
Glycine and hyperammonemia : potential target for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy
(Springer, 2016-06-23)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric
disorder caused by hepatic dysfunction. Numerous studies
dictate that ammonia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HE, and hyperammonemia can lead to alterations ...
Hepatic encephalopathy : novel insights into classification, pathophysiology and therapy
(Elsevier, 2020-10-21)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a frequent and serious complication of both chronic liver disease and acute liver failure. HE manifests as a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric abnormalities, from subclinical changes (mild ...
Judging the value of ammonia measurement on lactulose dosing : apples and oranges?
(University of Toronto Press, 2021-02-24)
Heretical thoughts into hepatic encephalopathy
(Elsevier & European Association for the Study of the Liver, 2022-03-27)
Clinical progress in the development of new diagnostic modalities and therapeutic strategies for the management of patients with hepatic encephalopathy has lagged behind the vast knowledge that has been generated from basic ...
Amino acids, ammonia, and hepatic encephalopathy
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a decline in brain function arising due to liver insufficiency. The liver's diminished capacity to clear ammonia, and the subsequent accumulation of it, is highly implicated in pathogenesis ...
Ammonia toxicity: from head to toe?
(Springer, 2016-12)
Ammonia is diffused and transported across all plasma membranes. This entails that hyperammonemia leads to an increase in ammonia in all organs and tissues. It is known that the toxic ramifications of ammonia primarily ...
