## 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

L-Glutamate (L-GLU) induced astrocyte swelling in a time-and concentration-dependent, as well as Na Ψ‰and Ca 2Ψ‰ -dependent, and Cl --independent manner. Swelling was prevented by MK-801, cystine, and ouabain. Since L-GLU swelling is ionically dependent, we determined the role of various ions in such

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

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
