Long-term Studies on the Therapy of Hepatic Damage and Cirrhosis of Liver

چکیده
The liver plays a major role in the nutrition and maintenance of the body as it dominates the intermediary metabolism by which food stuffs, after absorption, are finally prepared for assimilation and metabolism by the tissues. From the anatomical point of view, it is a receiving depot as well as a storehouse and chemical factory. Proper functioning of the liver has a significant effect on the physiological function and maintenance of a normal state of health.
