Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are known to improve hepatic encephalopathy as well as protein malnutrition in cirrhosis. However, such effects in acute hepatic failure (AHF) remain to be elucidated. The current study was conducted to investigate whether BCAA improves protein metabolism in AHF. AH
Recently, the excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter glutamate was implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of chronic degenerative neurological diseases in humans and animals. This report describes abnormalities in excitatory amino acids in the central nervous system of 18 patients with amyotrop
Alpha-dendrotoxin (a-DTx), a snake venom toxin which blocks several types of fast-activating voltagedependent potassium channels, induces limbic seizures and neuronal damage when injected into the brain. The mechanisms underlying these convulsant and neuropathological actions are not fully understoo
