It's been seen in both types of cirrhosis.

How?<br /><br />First, extra ammonia is converted into glutamine and stored inside the astrocytes. But there is a limit to how much a poor little astrocyte can take in. It swells, swells until it can take no more glutamate inside it (Reduced glutamate uptake).<br /><br />It also starts letting go a few glutamate into the extracellular environment which it can't convert into glutamine. Conversion requires the enzyme (Glutamate synthetase), and if the enzyme is busy, and the cell is full of glutamate, it releases a few molecules (Glutamate release).<br /><br />Hope that clears it for you, brother! :)<br />IkaN (Nakeya Dewaswala, M.D.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03461017124502223040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005913307053669259.post-25420032178065355962015-09-16T21:36:51.252-04:002015-09-16T21:36:51.252-04:00Hyperammonemia induces astrocyte swelling due to i...Hyperammonemia induces astrocyte swelling due to intracellular glutamate accumulation.<br />Elevation of extracellular glutamate due to release and reduced uptake by swollen astrocytes.. ...Sister ,I am confused with the intracellular and extracellular part !
