Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or autoimmune hepatitis? Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2020)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is nowadays the most common liver disease worldwide. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare disease of the liver characterised by female predominance, circulating ... -
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ... -
Oxygen-dependent secretion of a bioactive hepcidin-GFP chimera
(2013)Hepcidin, a hepatic hormone, regulates serum iron levels by controlling both intestinal iron absorption and iron release from macrophages. Although transcription of hepcidin is controlled by diverse stimuli, it remains ... -
Popular and unpopular infectious agents linked to primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the biliary epithelial cells of the small and medium-size bile ducts. The disease affects middle ... -
The presence of microcystins in fish Cyprinus carpio tissues: a histopathological study
(2013)The occurrence of heavy cyanobacterial blooms has become a worldwide problem, as a consequence of eutrophication of the aquatic ecosystems; furthermore, 60% to 75% of these blooms have been found to be toxic. Microcystins ... -
Probing the β-pocket of the active site of human liver glycogen phosphorylase with 3-(C-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-5-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1, 2, 4-triazole inhibitors
(2018)Human liver glycogen phosphorylase (hlGP), a key enzyme in glycogen metabolism, is a valid pharmaceutical target for the development of new anti-hyperglycaemic agents for type 2 diabetes. Inhibitor discovery studies have ... -
Quantitative HBsAg and HDV-RNA levels in chronic delta hepatitis
(2010)Background: Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes severe liver disease. Aims: To investigate the quantitative HDV-RNA, HBsAg and hepatitis B virus (HBV)DNA levels in correlation to histological, biochemical and demographical ... -
The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the activation of IL-1β in the pathogenesis of chronic viral hepatic inflammation
(2018)Background and aims: Chronic viral hepatitis is a prevalent disease with major health implications. Its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood. IL-1β and the NLRP3 inflammasome involvement has ... -
Safety and Efficacy of Transcatheter Arterial Chemoemboliazation in the Real-Life Management of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(2013)Background: Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is associated with better survival in BCLC-stage B patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and Child-Pugh A whereas in Child-Pugh B there is no definite evidence of ... -
Six months exposure to a real life mixture of 13 chemicals' below individual NOAELs induced non monotonic sex-dependent biochemical and redox status changes in rats
(2018)This study assessed the potential adverse health effects of long-term low-dose exposure to chemical mixtures simulating complex real-life human exposures. Four groups of Sprague Dawley rats were administered mixtures ... -
Smoking as a risk factor for autoimmune liver disease: What we can learn from primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a cholestatic liver disease characterised by the immune-mediated destruction of biliary epithelial cells in small intrahepatic bile ducts. The disease is characterised by circulating ... -
Synthetic, enzyme kinetic, and protein crystallographic studies of C-β-D-glucopyranosyl pyrroles and imidazoles reveal and explain low nanomolar inhibition of human liver glycogen phosphorylase
(2016)C-β-D-Glucopyranosyl pyrrole derivatives were prepared in the reactions of pyrrole, 2-, and 3-aryl-pyrroles with O-peracetylated β-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate, while 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl) indole was obtained by ... -
Tenebrio molitor larvae meal inclusion affects hepatic proteome and apoptosis and/or autophagy of three farmed fish species
(2022)Herein, the effect of dietary inclusion of insect (Tenebrio molitor) meal on hepatic pathways of apoptosis and autophagy in three farmed fish species, gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), European seabass (Dicentrarchus ... -
TGF-β signaling is activated in patients with chronic HBV infection and repressed by SMAD7 overexpression after successful antiviral treatment
(2016)Objectives: Although animal studies demonstrated that Smad7 induction ameliorates TGF-β/SMAD-mediated fibrogenesis, its role in human hepatic diseases is rather obscure. Our study explored the activation status of TGF-β/activin ... -
Tissue injury of the remnant liver following radiofrequency-assisted partial hepatectomy
(2017)Purpose: To evaluate remnant liver tissue damage in a pig model of radiofrequency (RF)-assisted liver resection employing either the sequential coagulate cut (SCC) Belgrade technique using a monopolar RF electrode or the ... -
Towards systemic sclerosis and away from primary biliary cirrhosis: The case of PTPN22
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by immune-mediated destruction of the small and medium size intrahepatic bile ducts. PBC patients often have concomitant autoimmune ... -
