HIMH0021 attenuates ethanol-induced liver injury and steatosis in mice
Chronic alcohol consumption causes alcohol-induced lipogenesis and promotes hepatic injury by preventing the oxidation of hepatocellular fatty acids through the suppression of the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). HIMH0021, an active flavonoid compound, which is a component of the Acer tegmentosum extract, has been shown to protect against liver damage caused by alcohol consump...
متن کاملDapagliflozin-Induced Acute-on-Chronic Liver Injury
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are a new class of oral hypoglycemic agents, and thus safety data are limited. We present a 48-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and Child's Class A cirrhosis secondary to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis presenting with jaundice and acute cholestatic liver injury. Other than starting dapagliflozin, she reported no medication changes or supplemen...
متن کاملDifferential effects of hyaluronan synthase 3 deficiency after acute vs chronic liver injury in mice
BACKGROUND Hyaluronan (HA) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix (ECM) glycosaminoglycan synthesized by three different enzymes, hyaluronan synthase (HAS)1, 2, and 3. HA synthesis mediated by HAS3 promotes inflammation and is pathogenic in animal models of human lung and intestinal disease. Liver fibrosis is a common endpoint to chronic liver injury and inflammation for which there is no cure. A...
متن کاملHepatoprotective Activity of Caspian Saffron (Crocus caspius Fisch and Mey) Flowers against CCl4- Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice
Background and objectives: Free radicals and other oxidants have important roles in liver cell toxicity. Some natural products are potent scavengers of oxidative agents. Crocus caspius is an endemic species of Caspian forest. Flowers of Crocus genus contain phenolic compound and carotenoid as antioxidant agent. This study investigated the antioxidant and hepat...
متن کاملEarly growth response-1 contributes to galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury in mice.
Early growth response (Egr)-1 is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in inflammation, innate and adaptive immunity, coagulation, and wound healing; however, little is known about the role of Egr-1 in acute liver injury. We tested the hypothesis that Egr-1 is involved in acute liver injury induced by galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide (GalN/LPS). GalN/LPS exposure biphasically inc...
