Hepatic Injury from Chemotherapy
Hepatotoxicity is an expanding field in hepatology and implies chemical-driven liver damage. This includes toxicity notably related to conventional... -
Mifepristone induced liver injury in a patient with Cushing syndrome: a case report and review of the literature
BackgroundMifepristone, also known as RU-486, is an anti-progestational steroid with similar chemical structure to anabolic steroids. Given as a...

Liver
Clinically relevant macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the liver and nutrient metabolism in the liver have been discussed. This chapter includes... -
Protective role of thymoquinone in hyperlipidemia-induced liver injury in LDL-R−/−mice
BackgroundHyperlipidemia, a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by elevated plasma lipids in the blood, causes severe health problems,...

Physiological Role of Liver and Interpreting Liver Function Tests
The purpose of this chapter is to review the anatomy and physiology of the liver as well as provide a brief interpretation of liver function tests.... -
Optimization of clofibrate with natural product sesamol for reducing liver injury induced by acetaminophen
Acetaminophen (APAP), which is widely used for the treatment of analgesic-antipyretic as the first-line drug, can cause extensive hepatic injury and...

Drug-Induced Cholangiopathies
Since it plays a central role in the metabolism of xenobiotics, including drugs, the liver is one of the main targets of drug toxicity, often due to... -
Recent Advances in Regenerative Medicine of the Liver and Bile Duct System by Chemically Induced Liver Progenitor Cells (CLiPs) in Nagasaki Experience
Liver transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage liver failure. Although the development of hepatocyte therapy is expected, hepatocyte... -
Albiflorin Alleviates Severe Acute Pancreatitis-Associated Liver Injury by Inactivating P38MAPK/NF-κB Signaling Pathway
Albiflorin (Alb) is a monoterpenoid component that is commonly found in Paeonia lactiflora Pall . or Paeonia veitchii Lynch . It is known for its...
