Progressive resistance training prevents loss of muscle mass and strength in bile duct‐ligated rats
(Wiley, 2018-11-05)
BACKGROUND: Loss of muscle mass and strength is common in cirrhosis and increases
the risk of hyperammonaemia and hepatic encephalopathy. Resistance training
optimizes muscle mass and strength in several ...
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 ...
Brain edema : a valid endpoint for measuring hepatic encephalopathy?
(2016-06)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major complication of liver failure/disease which frequently develops during the progression of end-stage liver disease. This metabolic neuropsychiatric syndrome involves a spectrum of ...
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 ...
