Hyperammonemia, increased brain neutral and aromatic amino acid levels, and encephalopathy induced by cyanide in mice.

Abstract:

:The correlation among hyperammonemia, brain neutral amino acid, and encephalopathy induced by cyanide was investigated in mice. Subcutaneous injection of 10 mg/kg of potassium cyanide increased the levels of blood ammonia by 2.5-fold as compared to those of the corresponding controls and caused loss of consciousness in 100% of the treated mice. alpha-Ketoglutarate (500 mg/kg, ip) completely blocked the development of loss of consciousness and hyperammonemia induced by cyanide. Furthermore, the same doses of potassium cyanide increased by 50-150% the levels of brain neutral and aromatic amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, while the levels of acidic amino acid such as taurine, glutamate, and aspartate did not change. alpha-Ketoglutarate also significantly inhibited the increase of the neutral and aromatic amino acid levels in brain. These findings suggest that the hyperammonemia and the increase of neutral and aromatic amino acids may play an important role in development of loss of consciousness induced by cyanide.
