Glial viability detected by MTT assay. a In M5 co-cultures, representing „physiological “ conditions, the glial viability was not altered by hyperammonemia. b The glial viability was significantly reduced after incubation with 20 mM NH4Cl for 6 h in M30 co-cultures, representing “pathological” conditions (n = 20 independent experiments). This effect could not be detected following NH4Cl incubation for 24 h. Data were collected by n = 8 independent experiments. Comparisons between more than two groups with normal distribution were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA) and Kruskal–Wallis test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
