13. Evaluation of two experimental models of hepatic encephalopathy in rats
The serious neuropsychological repercussions of hepatic encephalopathy have led to the creation of several experimental models in order to better understand the pathogenesis of the disease. In the present investigation, two possible causes of hepatic encephalopathy, cholestasis and portal hypertension, were chosen to study the behavioral impairments caused b

15. Evidence for central hypertyraminemia in hepatic encephalopathy.
In mongrel dogs, the effect of end-to-side portacaval shunt on plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tyramine, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine were studied. It was found that the level of tyramine in plasma, CSF, and selected brain regions increased steadily after the construction of the shunts. These elevations became more pronounc

16. Studies on the Intracerebral Toxicity of Ammonia*
Interference with cerebral energy metabolism due to excess ammonia has been postulated as a cause of hepatic encephalopathy. Furthermore, consideration of the neurologic basis of such features of hepatic encephalopathy as asterixis, decerebrate rigidity, hyperpnea, and coma suggests a malfunction of structures in the base of the brain and their cortical conn

17. Brain concentrations of benzodiazepines are elevated in an animal model of hepatic encephalopathy.
Brain extracts from rats with hepatic encephalopathy due to thioacetamide-induced fulminant hepatic failure contained 4- to 6-fold higher concentrations of substances that inhibit radioligand binding to benzodiazepine receptors than corresponding control rat extracts. Both isocratic and gradient-elution HPLC indicated that this inhibitory activity was locali

18. Operational criteria for the classification of chronic alcoholics: identification of Wernicke's encephalopathy.
OBJECTIVES: To establish better operational criteria for the diagnosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy. Current criteria for diagnosing Wernicke's encephalopathy require the presence of three clinical signs (oculomotor abnormalities, cerebellar dysfunction, and an altered mental state), although it has often been reported that most patients do not fulfil all th
