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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Increase brain lactate in hepatic encephalopathy: Cause or consequence?
(2010-11)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome which develops as a result of liver failure or disease. Increased concentrations of brain lactate (microdialysate, cerebrospinal fluid, tissue) are commonly ...
