Pathophysiological Significance of Hepatic Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a classical pathological feature in liver diseases caused by various etiological factors such as drugs, viruses, alcohol, and cholestasis. Hepatic apoptosis and its deleterious effects exacerbate liver function as well as involvement in fibrosis/cirrhosis and carcinogenesis. An imbalance between apoptotic and antiapoptotic capabilities is a prominent characteristic of liver injury....
متن کاملMolecular pharmacology and pathophysiological significance of endothelin.
Since the discovery of the most potent vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin, in 1988, explosive investigations have rapidly clarified much of the basic pharmacological, biochemical and molecular biological features of endothelin, including the presence and structure of isopeptides and their genes (endothelin-1, -2 and -3), regulation of gene expression, intracellular processing, specific endothe...
متن کاملCardiac alternans: mechanisms and pathophysiological significance.
1. Introduction 1). Driving the heart at cycle lengths just longer than the threshold may produce transient alternans [4,6]. Transient Mechanical alternans (pulsus alternans) is a condition in alternans may also be observed after a single premature which there is a beat-to-beat oscillation in the strength of systole [8,9]. Since premature systoles may also be fol-cardiac muscle contraction at a...
متن کاملReversal of hepatic fibrosis: pathophysiological basis of antifibrotic therapies
Chronic liver injuries of different etiologies eventually lead to fibrosis, a scarring process associated with increased and altered deposition of extracellular matrix in the liver. Progression of fibrosis has a major worldwide clinical impact due to the high number of patients affected by chronic liver disease which can lead to severe complications, expensive treatment, a possible need for liv...
