摘要: Purpose It has been suggested that ammonia-induced enhancement of peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs) in the brain is involved development hepatic encephalopathy (HE). This hypothesis based on animal experiments and studies post-mortem human brains using radiolabelled PK11195, a specific ligand for PBR, but to our knowledge not tested living patients. The aim present study was test this by measuring number cerebral PBRs regions cirrhotic patients with an acute episode clinically manifest HE healthy subjects dynamic 11C-PK11195 PET.
