Abnormalities in glutamate metabolism and glutamatergic neurotransmission appear to play a major role in the pathogenesis of hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy. Astrocytes may be involved in these derangements as ammonia has been shown to impair the ability of these cells to take up glutamate
