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.

To evaluate the efficacy of L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) as an adjuvant therapy in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Randomized placebo controlled study. The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi in the year 2003-2004. Patients with HE were randomized to receive LOLA
About 6500-7000 people/year die in Hungary due to liver cirrhosis which is often complicated with hepatic encephalopathy (HE). While conventional interpretation is that hepatic encephalopathy is a consequence of high blood ammonia level, recent data indicate that the degree of
Previous studies using citrin/mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) dehydrogenase (mGPD) double-knockout mice have demonstrated that increased dietary protein reduces the extent of carbohydrate-induced hyperammonemia observed in these mice. This study aimed to further elucidate the mechanisms of this effect. Specific amino acids

Introduction. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) refers to a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome that is progressive but potentially reversible and may have a significant impact on quality of life, as it is characterized by alterations in cognitive function, behavior and personality as well
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
