Probiotics combined with rifaximin influence the neurometabolic changes in a rat model of type C HE

Abstract Type C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric disease caused by chronic liver disease. Management of type C HE remains an important challenge because treatment options are limited. Both the antibiotic rifaximin and probiotics have been reported to reduce the symptoms of HE, but l...
