The contributions of bacteria metabolites to the development of hepatic encephalopathy
2023, Liver ResearchCitation Excerpt :Chronic hyperammonemia is sufficient to induce astrocyte and microglial activation, resulting in brain-derived proinflammatory tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β (Fig. 1).24–27 In an azoxymethane (AOM) induced HE mouse model, TNF-α receptor knockout (KO) mice had decreased brain swelling as opposed to the wild-type mice, further showing the impact of TNF-α on brain inflammation.28 This inflammatory state leads to neuronal death in vitro and in vivo.29
