The invention discloses a hyperammonemia model of affecting apoptosis gene expression in rat brains and a construction method of the hyperammonemia model. The hyperammonemia model of affecting the apoptosis gene expression in the rat brains is as follows: 40 male rats are equally divided into two groups randomly, namely a normal control group and a hyperammonemia model group; the learning and memorizing functions of the rats are evaluated through a water maze test; the rats are narcotized and then plasma is separated to detect blood ammonia; one part of rat brain tissues is fixed through 4% paraformaldehyde and the other part is stored at 80 DEG C below zero; the rat brain apoptosis condition is detected through a Tunel kit; and the expression of the rat brain tissue Bcl-2 and Bax genes is detected through RT-qPCR. Neuronal apoptosis of the rat brain tissues employing the hyperammonemia model is increased. Due to the multifactor action result in the brain tissues, disequilibrium of Bcl-2 and Bax apoptosis gene expression is an important mechanism.
