Two different diets able to induce dietary hyperammonaemia (a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet and a methionine-deficient diet enriched with ammonium acetate (MAD + 20% ammonium acetate)) were tested in a rat model. The diets were shown to have different modes of action, inducing significant hyperammonaemia (HA) and growth retardation in the rats, with different metabolic consequences. The MCD diet resulted in the development of endogenous HA, with a decrease in bilirubin levels and an increase in hepatic fat content.

The activation of hepatic stellate cells is a central driver of disease progression. Cellular autophagy, a lysosome-mediated degradation process, plays a key role in maintaining cellular function and dynamic homeostasis.
