Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated quinacrine, an FDA-approved drug, for its protective effects against hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in a rat model with bile duct ligation (BDL) and focused on the liver-brain communication through BMP2 signaling.
  • Results indicated that BDL caused significant liver damage and cognitive deficits in rats, but quinacrine treatment improved liver function and cognitive abilities by restoring crucial signaling pathways.
  • The findings suggest that quinacrine may offer potential benefits for treating HE by enhancing liver and brain health, highlighting the role of BMP2 signaling in this process.*
