## 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
Methylxanthines produce a quasi-morphine withdrawal syndrome (QMWS) in opiate naive rats. Additionally, methylxanthine-induced suppression of conditioned behavior in rats is reversed by the alpha2 adrenergic agonist clonidine which also attenuates true opiate withdrawal and the QMWS. Therefore, the
