Ammonia is the principal neurotoxin implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, and astrocytes are the neural cells predominantly affected in this condition. Astrocyte swelling (cytotoxic edema) represents a critical component of the brain edema in acute form of hepatic encephalopathy
Changes in mitochondrial matrix volume were studied both on isolated mitochondria and in situ on CHME 5 human microglia and monoblastoid U 937 cells using multiparametric flow cytometric analysis. The use of specific effectors of mitochondrial activity (oligomycin and KCN) allowed the demonstration,
