BabaoDan cures hepatic encephalopathy by decreasing ammonia levels and alleviating inflammation in rats

ConclusionBBD can prevent and cure hepatic encephalopathy (HE) derived from both chronic and acute liver diseases. BBD can reduce hyperammonemia as well as the systematic and neurological inflammation. Inflammation is likely an important target of BBD to treat HE. The anti-inflammatory role of BBD may lie in its regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κ B pathways.Graphical abstract
