Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS:
AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio was reduced in the brain but not in the liver. The total glutathione level and GSH/ GSSG ratio, decreased in TAA rats, were restored by AdoMet treatment. CONCLUSION: Data indicate that disturbance of redox homeostasis caused by AdoHcy in the TAA rat brain may represent a deleterious mechanism of brain damage in HE. The correction of the GSH/ GSSG ratio following AdoMet administration indicates its therapeutic value in maintaining cellular redox potential in the cerebral cortex of ALF rats.
