L-Ornithine L-aspartate is a metabolite of arginine degradation by arginase. It has been shown to reduce blood ammonia concentrations by increasing ammoniadetoxification in the muscle and reducing the severity of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis.

Hepatic encephalopathy continues to be a major clinical problem and the current decade has not witnessed major therapeutic breakthroughs in this area. L-ornithine-l-aspartate (LOLA) is not frequently used as there are still some reservations about its benefits. The present study
Arquivos de gastroenterologia, 46(3), 241-247 (2009-11-18)
Experimental and clinical studies suggest that LOLA may have a favorable influence on hepatic encephalopathy due to the effect on the reduction of ammonia, and improvement of the symptoms and laboratory findings. To evaluate and to critically analyze the efficacy

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious complication of cirrhosis. Clinical trials have consistently shown that L-ornithine-L-aspartate significantly improves HE symptoms. Health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) is impaired in HE patients and represents an important outcome measure for therapeutic intervention. The
l-ornithine, an important amino acid, is widely used in food and medicine industries. l-ornithine production mainly relies on microbial fermentation, which may not meet the industrial requirement owing to the poor fermentation ability of available strains. Herein, mscCG2 deletion, CgS9114_12202

Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) impairs daily functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The modalities of treatment of MHE have not been adequately studied. To compare lactulose, probiotics, and L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) in treatment of MHE and effect on HRQoL
