it has been suggested , from studies of a rabbit model of fulminant hepatic failure , that hepatic encephalopathy might be related to an increase in brain gamma-aminobutyric acid uptake through a more permeable bloodbrain barrier , leading to an overactivity of brain gamma-aminobutyric acid-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission .
