Linking Inflammation to the Brain-Liver Axis
The upregulation of plasma inflammatory biomarkers in individuals with metabolic syndrome implies that activation of the innate immune response contributes to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (1). Today, a large array of studies has demonstrated that activation of inflammatory pathways underlies obesity-associated insulin resistance at the liver and fat (2–4). However, little is known regard...

متن کاملTreatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy: Targeting the Gut-liver-brain Axis
The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) involves the interaction between two pathophysiological mechanisms: ammonia detoxification and inflammation. The neuropathology of HE is characterised by astrocyte dysfunction and swelling due to ammonia detoxification. The enzyme glutamine synthetase, which is located mainly in astrocytes, protects neurons by absorbing excess ammonia and glutamat...
متن کاملLinking Mind to Brain:
How our brains give rise to our minds is one of the most intriguing questions in all of science. We are now living in a particularly interesting time to consider this question. This is true because, during the last decade, mathematical models about how the brain works have finally succeeded quantitatively simulating the experimentally recorded dynamics of individual cells in identified brain ci...
