Fig. 1From: Role of the indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase/kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism in behavioral alterations in a hepatic encephalopathy rat modelScheme showing the experimental design. Blood was taken 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28Â days after BDL surgery. Rats received the first administration of 1-MT (1, 3, and 9Â mg/kg, p.o.) or vehicle at the 7th day after BDL surgery, and behavior tests were performed at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28Â days after BDL surgery. Animals were sacrificed immediately after behavior tests for neurochemical analysisBack to article page
