The concentration in brain of both octopamine (OCT) and tyramine (TYR) was significantly increased in rats 8 weeks after portal-systemic bypass. This suggests that the increase in OCT is secondary to increased decarboxylation of tyrosine to TYR. However, the role these neuroamines, particularly OCT, play in the development of hepatic encephalopathy remains controversial.
在门体分流术后8周的大鼠中,章鱼胺(OCT)和酪胺(TYR)在脑内的浓度均显著升高。这表明OCT的增加是酪氨酸脱羧生成TYR增加的继发结果。然而,这些神经胺,尤其是OCT,在肝性脑病发展过程中所起的作用仍存在争议。
