Pharmacological ceramide reduction alleviates alcohol-induced steatosis and hepatomegaly in adiponectin knockout mice.
Hepatosteatosis, the ectopic accumulation of lipid in the liver, is one of the earliest clinical signs of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Alcohol-dependent deregulation of liver ceramide levels as well as inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) activity are thought to contribute to hepatosteatosis development. Adiponectin can re...
متن کاملPulsatile hepatomegaly in constrictive pericarditis.
In a study of 30 consecutive patients with constrictive pericarditis diagnosed by clinical, radiological, and echocardiographic criteria 21 (70%) were found to have pulsatile hepatomegaly. The pulsations were felt clinically and confirmed by external hepatic recordings. These pulsations conformed almost identically to the jugular venous pulsations in the neck. The hepatic pulsations disappeared...
متن کاملRole of macrophages in the pathogenesis of alcohol induced tissue damage.
One of the things that Archie Craig sought to do was to keep alive a real sense of what it meant to be part of a university. In Glasgow the faculties were becoming inclined to drift apart. So he formed in the 1950s a group which invited new professors to dine with themhandsomely-and then to spend an hour or more putting the case for their having a successor. "You personally are welcome, most we...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced liver disease.
Chronic alcohol consumption is a well-known risk factor for liver disease, which represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathological process of alcohol-induced liver disease is characterized by a broad spectrum of morphological changes ranging from steatosis with minimal injury to more advanced liver damage, including steato-hepatitis and fibrosis/cirrhosis. Experime...
