Extracellular vesicles from L. paracasei improve neuroinflammation, GABA neurotransmission and motor incoordination in hyperammonemic rats

Patients with liver cirrhosis may show minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) with motor incoordination and cognitive impairment that reduce life quality and span. Motor incoordination is due to neuroinflammation and enhanced GABAergic neurotransmission in cerebellum. Recent reports support that probi...
