  • Title: [Encephalopathy in the rat following partial portosystemic anastomosis].
    Author: Stella GD, Vassanelli P, Gonzato P, Rizzi B, Pelizzo MR.
    Journal: Arch Sci Med (Torino); 1973; 130(2):137-40. PubMed ID: 17342922.
    Abstract:
    Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) values were determined in 4 groups of Sprague-Dawley rats 45-50 days after end-to-side porto-cava (PC), mesentericosplenic-cava (MSC) and mesenteric-cava (MC) anastomosis, and a false operation (FO) respectively. Values were significantly increased in the anastomosed animals. If, as may be supposed, this finding points to altered cerebral metabolism, its observation in the MSC and MC groups militates against the general view that encephalopathy in the experimental animal only occurs as a result of total deviation of the portal flow.
