1H MRS and 31P MRS were used to study brain (energy)
metabolism in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) in animal
model of Chronic liver disease. We could see 2-fold
increase of Gln and decrease in other brain osmolytes
but only non-significant decrease in ATP suggesting that
mild brain edema, present in HE, is unlikely due to
energy disturbances but rather high concentrations of
the osmotically active Gln look, for the moment, as one
of the principal causes.
