  • Title: [Free aminoacids and cerebral lipids in the rat following porto-cava anastomosis].
    Author: Vassanelli P, Stella GD, Pelizzo MR, Rizzi B, Bertani G.
    Journal: Arch Sci Med (Torino); 1973; 130(3):198-202. PubMed ID: 17342915.
    Abstract:
    Free aminoacids and cerebral lipids were studied in rats following porto-cava anastomosis with total deviation of the portal flow. No difference in lipid pattern with respect to the controls was noted after 1 month. Changes in free aminoacids, however, were observed, including a significant increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and a significant decrease in glutamic acid. The meaning of these results with respect to the pathogenesis of porto-cava encephalopathy is discussed.
