Another interesting finding is that no differences were found in Lactobacillaceae concentration between NC and NC + TAA, This is in line with previous studies which have demonstrated that Lactobacilli can efficiently treat hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy by remodeling the intestinal microbiota and reducing the production and absorption of ammonia (Nicaise et al., 2008; Singh et al., 2018), as well as by downregulating the serum transaminase levels as seen in the ammonia and ALT levels of NC + TAA. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and Hyperammonemia.
