    Ammonia toxicity: Comparative protective effect of various arginine and ornithine derivatives, aspartate, benzoate, and carbamyl glutamate

    Ornithine and arginine compounds were highly effective in preventing an increase in blood ammonia and in preventing or minimizing encephalopathy after acute subcoma, comainducing, or lethal doses of NH ...

    Brain monoamines after portacaval anastomosis

    Norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, as well as the serotonin metabolite, 5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid, were measured in whole-brain extracts from rats with a portacaval shunt or sham operation. Norepinephr...

    β-Hydroxybutyrate reverses insulin-induced hypoglycemic coma in suckling-weanling mice despite low blood and brain glucose levels

    In normal suckling-weanling mice,dl-β-hydroxybutyrate (30 mmol/kg ip) stimulated insulin secretion and reduced plasma glucose levels. In the brains of these animals, glucose levels were tripled due to a reduced r...

    Regional glucose andβ-Hydroxybutyrate use by develo** rat brain

    Rates of glucose andd-β-hydroxybutyrate use were determined in five brain regions of 20-day-old rats. The regions studied were cerebral cortex, thalamus, striatum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The tracers for dete...
