The ammonia produced by enteric bacteria and absorbed into portal venous blood and the ammonia produced by tissues are rapidly removed from circulation by the liver and converted to urea. Only traces (10—20 Ig/dL) thus normally are present in peripheral blood. This is essential, since ammonia is toxic to the central nervous system. Should portal blood bypass the liver, systemic blood ammonia levels may rise to toxic levels. This occurs in severely impaired hepatic function or the development of collateral links between the portal and systemic veins in cirrhosis. Symptoms of ammonia intoxication include tremor, slurred speech, blurred vision, coma, and ultimately death. Ammonia may be toxic to the brain in part because it reacts with a-ketoglutarate to form glutamate. The resulting depleted levels of a-ketoglutarate then impair function of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in neurons. 

Sibutramine use also carries the risk of side effects, which include elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, dry mouth, nausea, and dizziness. Abuse of sibutramine can cause dilated pupils, excessive bleeding or bruising, tremor, and anxiety. As with all prescription drugs, it is essential to use sibutramine according a doctor s instructions. The alternative is the possibility of unpleasant side effects and dangerous outcomes.

Atropine has been found -Ob to reduce markedly the increase in the concentration of total brain acetylcholine In rats later given paraoxon at 0.4 mg/kg. Rats given a dose of paraoxon and than treated with IV lntraperltoneally had brain concentrations of free and total acetylcholine that were essentially the same as those in rats given paraoxon alone, but no tremors or convulsions were observed. These animals survived those given paraoxon alone all died in convulsions within 3-8 min.

Several types of abnormal movement are recognized. Tremor consists of a rhythmic oscillatory movement around a joint and is best characterized by its relation to activity. Tremor at rest is characteristic of parkinsonism, when it is often associated with rigidity and an impairment of voluntary activity. Tremor may occur during maintenance of sustained posture (postural tremor) or during movement (intention tremor). A conspicuous postural tremor is the cardinal feature of benign essential or familial tremor. Intention tremor occurs in patients with a lesion of the brain stem or cerebellum, especially when the superior cerebellar peduncle is involved it may also occur as a manifestation of toxicity from alcohol or certain other drugs.
