  • Title: [Changes in the hemato-encephalic barrier in experimental liver cirrhosis].
    Author: Mishchenko VA, Goriukhina OA, Iliuk RD.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1993 Dec; 116(12):638-41. PubMed ID: 8123829.
    Abstract:
    Experiments on 30 Wistar female rats with tetrachloromethane-induced cirrhosis of the liver revealed structural changes in the hematoencephalic barrier presenting as peri- and endocapillary changes and changes in vascular peduncles of astrocytes shown by light and electron microscopy. Hematoencephalic barrier destabilization is conducive to penetration of cerebrotoxins and other metabolic toxins, this explaining the development of hepatic encephalopathy.
