Astroglial swelling occurs in acute hyperammonemic states, including acute hepatic encephalopathy. In these conditions, the peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), a receptor associated with neurosteroidogenesis, is up-regulated. This study examined the potential involvement of PBRs and neuro

## Abstract Brain edema is a serious complication of hepatic encephalopathy associated with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). A major component of the edema seems to be cytotoxic, involving astrocyte swelling. Although the mechanism of brain edema in FHF is incompletely understood, it is generally b

## Abstract Elevated levels of ammonia in blood and brain result in derangement of cerebral function. Recently, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress have been implicated in ammonia neurotoxicity. Because ammonia is primarily detoxified in astrocytes, we postulated that pathophysiological concent

## Abstract Ammonia is a toxin that has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), and the astrocyte appears to be the principal target of ammonia toxicity. The specific neurochemical mechanisms underlying HE, however, remain elusive. One of the suggested mechanism
