Hepatic encephalopathy is a major complication of liver cirrhosis and acute liver failure and represents an important issue of clinical and socioeconomic relevance. Hyperammonemic syndromes due to inborn errors of metabolism can also trigger encephalopathy. Much effort has been devoted during recent decades to understand the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, not only at the level of molecular and cell biology, but also at the neurophysiological and neuropsychological level. Considerable advances in the understanding of the syndrome and its relation to nitrogen metabolism have been...

Amino acid transport is a part of each of two larger subjects, amino acid metabolism and the biomembrane transport of various . small molecules and ions. Nevertheless in this volume we treat amino acid transport as more than a fragment of either of these two larger subjects. A more comprehensive approach is justified when we remember two historic and ongoing aspects of the title subject. First, amino acid transport had its beginning and acquired a distinct momentum (even if somewhat interrupted from 1913 until about 1945) as amino acid metabolism with the central and pioneer work of Van Slyke...
