Under physiological conditions intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are normal components of signal transduction cascades, and their levels are maintained by a complex antioxidants systems participating in the in-vivo redox homeostasis. ROS are critical for hippocampal synaptic plasticity (learning and memory, including long-term potentiation (LTP)). Increased oxidative stress is present in several chronic diseases and interferes with phagocytic and nervous (neurodegeneration, aging/disease-related impairment, and long-term depression (LTD)) cell functions, causing an up-regulation of cytokines and inflammation. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) occurs in both acute liver failure (ALF) and chronic liver disease. Increased blood and brain ammonium has been considered as an important factor in pathogenesis of HE and has been associated with inflammation, neurotoxicity, and oxidative stress. The relationship between ROS and the pathophysiology of HE is still poorly understood. Therefore, sensing ROS production for a better understanding of the relationship between oxidative stress and functional outcome in HE pathophysiology is critical for determining the disease mechanisms, as well as to improve the management of patients.\nClick here to know about the speaker\n \n\n10:00-10:30  CIBM news and networking  \nSeminar Chair\nBernard Lanz, \nResearch Staff Scientist, 14.1T MRI Operational manager,CIBM MRI EPFL Animal Imaging and Technology Section\nPlease register by Monday January 29, 2023, 12:00\nTo join us on Zoom, please register at the following link:https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5YrdOqsqzspE9GVL3C1vLDuWfU86GLAR7EH\nTo attend on site, please register here, as places are limited: https://breakfast-science-seminar-30.eventbrite.ca\nAfter registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nWe look forward to seeing you soon.\n												\n
