Journal ArticleDOI
Value of the critical flicker frequency in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy
Manuel Romero-Gómez,Juan Córdoba,Rodrigo Jover,Juan A. del Olmo,Marta Ramírez,Ramón Rey,Enrique de Madaria,Carmina Montoliu,D. Núñez,Montse Flavià,José M. Rodrigo,Vicente Felipo +11 more
TL;DR: CFF is a simple, reliable, and accurate method for the diagnosis of MHE, not influenced by age or education and could predict the development of overt HE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral administration of sildenafil restores learning ability in rats with hyperammonemia and with portacaval shunts
Slaven Erceg,Pilar Monfort,Mariluz Hernández-Viadel,Regina Rodrigo,Carmina Montoliu,Vicente Felipo +5 more
TL;DR: Impaired learning ability in rats with chronic liver failure or with hyperammonemia is the result of impairment of the glutamate‐NO‐cGMP pathway, and chronic treatment with sildenafil normalizes the function of the pathway and restores learning ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-6 and IL-18 in blood may discriminate cirrhotic patients with and without minimal hepatic encephalopathy.
Carmina Montoliu,Blanca Piedrafita,Miguel A. Serra,Juan A. del Olmo,Amparo Urios,José M. Rodrigo,Vicente Felipo +6 more
TL;DR: Assessing whether there is a correlation between the alterations in parameters reflecting inflammation, hyperammonemia, and the presence of MHE found that inflammation-associated alterations related with IL-6 and IL-18 may contribute to MHE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental pattern of GFAP and vimentin gene expression in rat brain and in radial glial cultures.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that although GFAP immunostaining appeared late in gestation and at day 5 in radial glia cultures, GFAP mRNA expression was first detected, at very low levels, on fetal (F) day 15 and increased to F21, and during postnatal development a striking increase in GFAP and its encoding messenger occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamatergic and gabaergic neurotransmission and neuronal circuits in hepatic encephalopathy
Omar Cauli,Regina Rodrigo,Marta Llansola,Carmina Montoliu,Pilar Monfort,Blanca Piedrafita,Nisrin El Mlili,Jordi Boix,Ana Agusti,Vicente Felipo +9 more
TL;DR: This work reviews the alterations in the function of the neuronal circuits between basal ganglia-thalamus-cortex modulating motor activity and the role of sequential alterations in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission in these alterations.
