Proteomic analysis of hippocampal proteins in moderate hepatic encephalopathy rat model

Hepatic Encephalopathy is the brain disorder caused by liver damage, characterized by cognitive and motor impairments. Glutamate a predominant excitatory neurotransmitter over activate post-synaptic neuron via NMDAR receptors leads to neuronal derangement. NMDAR as a therapeutic target is not viable option due to its crucial role in brain physiology. In order to discover new non-NMDAR therapeutic targets high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) technique was used for proteomic profiling of the hippocampal proteins in Moderate hepatic encephalopathy (MoHE) rat model.
