Adult Sprague-Dawley rats 4 weeks after bile duct ligation (BDL)\/Sham-operation, or na\u00efve rats fed a hyperammonemic diet (HD), were injected with LPS (0.5 mg\/kg, intraperitoneally) or saline, and killed 3 hours later. LPS administration increased brain water in HD, BDL, and sham-operated groups significantly (<\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>\n                                    P\n                                 <\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>&lt; 0.05), but this was associated with progression to pre-coma stages only in BDL rats. LPS induced cytotoxic brain swelling and maintained anatomical integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Plasma\/brain ammonia levels were higher in HD and BDL rats than in sham-operated controls and did not change with LPS administration. Brain glutamine\/myoinositol ratio was increased in the HD group but reduced in the BDL animals. There was a background pro-inflammatory cytokine response in the brains of cirrhotic rats, and plasma\/brain tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1) and IL-6 significantly increased in LPS-treated animals. Plasma nitrite\/nitrate levels increased significantly in LPS groups compared with non-LPS controls; however, frontal cortex nitrotyrosine levels only increased in the BDL + LPS rats (<\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>\n                                    P\n                                 <\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>&lt; 0.005 versus BDL controls).<\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>\n                                    Conclusion:\n                                 <\/jats:bold>\n                                 <jats:bold>Injection of LPS into cirrhotic rats induces pre-coma and exacerbates cytotoxic edema because of the synergistic effect of hyperammonemia and the induced inflammatory response. Although the exact mechanism of how hyperammonemia and LPS facilitate cytotoxic edema and pre-coma in cirrhosis is not clear, our data support an important role for the nitrosation of brain proteins.
