Abstract
The authors present effect of the end to side portacaval shunt (E-S PCS) and side to side portacaval shunt (S-S PCS) on monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in brain cortex and cerebellum of rats. There were significant differences between two experimental models of PCS. Our results show greater increase in MAO activity after end to side portacaval shunt.
