Alcoholic Liver Disease And Immune Response
The alcoholic liver disease (ALD) continues to be a major health problem worldwide with respect to both morbidity and mortality. It is usually an outcome of excessive alcohol consumptions but can be worse by poor diet and genetic factors. This review aims to update the recent conditions of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, immune response and therapies to ALD. The new insights into the pathogenes...
متن کاملRecent advances in alcoholic liver disease II. Minireview: molecular mechanisms of alcoholic fatty liver.
Alcohol has long been thought to cause fatty liver by way of altered NADH/NAD(+) redox potential in the liver, which, in turn, inhibits fatty acid oxidation and the activity of tricarboxylic acid cycle reactions. More recent studies indicate that additional effects of ethanol both impair fat oxidation and stimulate lipogenesis. Ethanol interferes with DNA binding and transcription-activating pr...
متن کاملHepatic Immune Microenvironment in Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Liver Disease
Many types of innate (natural killer cells, natural killer T cells, and Kupffer cells/macrophages) and adaptive (T cells and B cells) immune cells are enriched within the liver and function in liver physiology and pathology. Liver pathology is generally induced by two types of immunologic insults: failure to eliminate antigens derived from the gastrointestinal tract which are important for host...
متن کاملRecent advances in alcoholic liver disease III. Role of the innate immune response in alcoholic hepatitis.
Ethanol consumption is known to cause significant acute liver damage resulting in hepatic fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis when consumed chronically. The mechanism(s) by which ethanol exerts its damaging effects on the liver are not well understood; however, recent scientific investigation has begun to delineate the earliest events in alcoholic liver disease. From these studies, it is apparent t...
متن کاملPolyphenols and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: impact and mechanisms.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered to be the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome and its prevalence is rapidly increasing due to its strong association with insulin resistance and obesity. At present, given that NAFLD is highly prevalent and therapies are limited, much attention is focused on identifying effective dietary strategies for the prevention and treatment ...
