Journal ArticleDOI

IL-6 and IL-18 in blood may discriminate cirrhotic patients with and without minimal hepatic encephalopathy.

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

Glutamine synthetase activity and glutamine content in brain: modulation by NMDA receptors and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: It is found that glutamine synthetase activity and glutamine content in brain are modulated by NMDA receptors and nitric oxide, and this may be useful, for example, to increase ammonia detoxification in brain in hyperammonemic situations.
Journal ArticleDOI

NMDA receptor antagonists prevent acute ammonia toxicity in mice.

TL;DR: The results strongly support the idea that acute ammonia toxicity is mediated by activation of NMDA receptors and that inhibitors of calcineurin, of glutamine synthetase or antioxidants did not prevent ammonia-induced death of mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutamatergic and gabaergic neurotransmission and neuronal circuits in hepatic encephalopathy

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.
