متن کاملEvaluation of the role of TLR4 in endotoxin-induced hepatic encephalopathy in rats with biliary cirrhosis
Background: Hepatic encephalopathy is defined as a neuropsychiatric brain dysfunction in acute or chronic liver failure. Infection and inflammation have crucial role in its pathophysiology. The purpose of our study was to demonstrate the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression and the encephalopathy induced with endotoxin in biliary cirrhotic rats. Methods: The present stud...
متن کاملValproate-induced encephalopathy: assessment with MR imaging and 1H MR spectroscopy.
The anticonvulsant agent valproate (VPA) may cause hyperammonemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton MR spectroscopic (MRS) findings in a patient with VPA-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy are described. MRI showed a metabolic-toxic lesion pattern with bilateral T2-hyperintense lesions in the cerebellar white matter and in the globus pallidus. MR spectroscopic findi...
متن کاملApplications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to chronic liver disease.
In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a non-invasive 'window' on biochemical processes within the body. The technique is currently a research tool, but new developments in whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may provide a role for clinical MRS in obtaining functional information at the end of a standard MRI examination. Applications of hepatic and cerebral MRS to chroni...
متن کاملCerium oxide nanoparticle modulates hepatic damage, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in a dose-dependent manner: an in vivo study of rat liver
Objective (s): Cerium oxide nanoparticles nanoceria (CeNPs) is a novel nanoparticle that has great potential for the treatment of various diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CeNPs on oxidative stress biomarkers in the liver of male rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were equally distributed into 4 groups (n=6/each). The first group was controlled and ...
