Short-chain fatty acids cause reversible coma in animals and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the hepatic coma in humans. The concentrations of short-chain fatty acids in peripheral venous blood were significantly elevated in 15 patients with hepatic encephalopathy caused by cirrhosis (362 +/-
To determine the localization of increased vascular resistance in cirrhotic liver, blood pressures were measured by a direct cannulation method at several key points in the hepatic vascular pathway in normal and cirrhotic rats. Cirrhosis was produced by feeding a choline-deficient diet. Blood pressu
Circulating catecholamines are increased in cirrhosis with portal hypertension, and increase further after propranolol. In 23 cirrhotic patients, plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine were determined in an artery, the azygos vein, the right renal vein and a hepatic vein before and after an oral 80-m
