Alcohol and liver damage
Chronic heavy drinking can cause the liver to become fatty. Fat deposits in the liver block the liver cells from their blood supply, depriving them of oxygen and other nutrients, eventually killing them. As the name implies, the liver performs so many vital functions that we cannot live without it. The liver filters all of the blood in our bodies, breaking down and eliminating toxins, convertin...
متن کاملAlcohol and liver damage.
The association of aicohol with cirrhosis was recognised by~vfatthew Ba-ilhe4& 1793 and later by Addison.

In France, between—1941 and 1947, rationing of wine from five to one litre per week led to an 80% reduction in mortaiity from cirrhosis (1). Cirrhosis is on the increase. In the U.S.A...

متن کاملMechanisms of alcohol liver damage: aldehydes, scavenger receptors, and autoimmunity.
While most of the investigations into the causative events in the development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) have been focused on multiple factors, increasing interest has centered around the possible role of immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis and perpetuation of ALD. This is because many of the clinical features of ALD suggest that immune effector mechanisms may be contributing to liver t...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Protects Against Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage
The mechanisms underlying alcoholic liver disease are not completely understood, but lipid accumulation seems to be central to the cause of this disease. The peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor (PPAR ) plays an important role in the control of lipid homeostasis, metabolism of bioactive molecules, and modulation of inflammatory responses. To investigate the roles of PPAR in alcoholic liver...
