The mechanisms by which T cells contribute to the hepatic inflammation during antigen-independent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) are not fully understood. We analyzed the recruitment of T cells in the postischemic hepatic microcirculation in vivo and tested the hypothesis that T cells interact with plat

We read with interest the articles on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements. [1][2][3] We fully agree on the need to standardize HVPG measurements to get reliable, reproducible, and useful data. 1 We also agree that before recommending such measurements in clinical practice, it is nec
The mechanism(s) determining the progression from fatty liver to steatohepatitis is currently unknown. Our goal was to define the relative impact of iron overload, genetic mutations of HFE, and insulin resistance on the severity of liver fibrosis in a population of subjects with nonalcoholic fatty l
Age declines liver functions, leading to the development of age-associated diseases. A member of the sirtuins family, SIRT1, is involved in the control of glucose homeostasis and fat metabolism. Because aging livers have alterations in glucose and fat metabolism, we examined a possible role of SIRT1
