gamma-aminobutyric acid and Hepatic Encephalopathy

gamma-aminobutyric acid has been researched along with Hepatic Encephalopathy in 140 studies

gamma-Aminobutyric Acid: The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
gamma-aminobutyric acid : A gamma-amino acid that is butanoic acid with the amino substituent located at C-4.

Hepatic Encephalopathy: A syndrome characterized by central nervous system dysfunction in association with LIVER FAILURE, including portal-systemic shunts. Clinical features include lethargy and CONFUSION (frequently progressing to COMA); ASTERIXIS; NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; brisk oculovestibular reflexes; decorticate and decerebrate posturing; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; and bilateral extensor plantar reflexes (see REFLEX, BABINSKI). ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY may demonstrate triphasic waves. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1117-20; Plum & Posner, Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma, 3rd ed, p222-5)

"During hepatic coma, the K+-stimulated [3H]GABA release was notably diminished in the striatum and cerebellum, whereas a significant increase was observed in the hippocampus."1.27Regional brain GABA metabolism and release during hepatic coma produced in rats chronically treated with carbon tetrachloride. ( Díaz-Muñoz, M; Tapia, R, 1988)
"The progressive course of hepatic encephalopathy developing in rats after massive hepatic ischemia due to hepatic artery ligation within 48 hr of a portacaval shunt was not altered by the injection of a benzodiazepine antagonist, CGS 8216, in a dose that was sufficient to reverse diazepam-induced coma quickly."1.27A benzodiazepine antagonist does not alter the course of hepatic encephalopathy or neural gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding. ( Ebner, J; Ferenci, P; Rzepczynski, D; Zieve, L; Zimmermann, C, 1987)
"Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a potent amino acid neurotransmitter that suppresses normal neuronal activity in the central nervous system."1.27Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production by eight common bacterial pathogens. ( Minuk, GY, 1986)
"CSF levels of GABA in five dogs with portosystemic encephalopathy (100 +/- 13 pmol/ml) were not significantly different from those in five control dogs (96 +/- 14 pmol/ml)."1.27Cerebrospinal fluid gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in dogs with chronic portosystemic encephalopathy. ( Farrell, GC; Maddison, JE; Stewart, P; Yau, D, 1986)
"The mean serum GABA level for the Reye's syndrome group (3."1.27Elevated serum gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in children with Reye's syndrome. ( Buchan, K; Minuk, GY; Sarjeant, EJ, 1985)
"Hepatic coma was induced in rats chronically treated with CCl4, by means of a single injection of ammonium acetate."1.27Regional brain GABA metabolism and release during hepatic coma produced in rats chronically treated with carbon tetrachloride. ( Díaz-Muñoz, M; Tapia, R, 1988)
"Thus, hepatic encephalopathy appears to involve partial degeneration of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-containing presynaptic nerve terminals."1.26Experimental hepatic encephalopathy: changes in the binding of gamma-aminobutyric acid. ( Baraldi, M; Zeneroli, ZL, 1982)
"In a rabbit model the development of hepatic encephalopathy was associated with increased levels of GABA in plasma, increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, increased numbers of binding-sites for GABA and benzodiazepines in the brain, and a pattern of neural activity similar to that induced by drugs which activate the GABA neurotransmitter system."1.26Hepatic encephalopathy and the gamma-aminobutyric-acid neurotransmitter system.
