Kupffer cell-derived cytokines are believed to play pivotal paracrine roles in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). To evaluate this hypothesis, Kupffer cell gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( m a ) , interleukin (IL)-6, and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFP1) were

It is well recognized that consumption of alcohol leads to liver disease in a dose-dependent manner; however, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Hypoxia subsequent to a hypermetabolic state may be involved: therefore, when it was observed recently that inactivation of Kupffer cells prevented stimu
As described in an interesting review by Rao, 1 much evidence derived from numerous experimental studies of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) support the association of endotoxemia with the initiation and progression of ALD. The review focuses on the role of endotoxemia and the mechanisms of gut barrier
