    Abstract:
    Rats with portacaval shunt (PCS) were used as a model of hepatic encephalopathy and compared to sham operated controls. Neurochemical studies in rats have demonstrated increased activity of MAO in brain cortex and cerebellum at 20, 40, and 60 days after surgery. The greatest increase of MAO activity was seen 60 days after PCS.
