Hepatic fibrosis is a disease caused by a wide variety of chronic diseases that affect the liver after different insults, and the only treatment is liver transplantation. The pathogenesis of liver fibrosis involves complex interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix of the liver tissue, which is mediated by cytokines that modulate the progression of fibrosis. The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the profile of proinflammatory (IL-6 and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines in the liver of rats with different degrees of fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation (BDL
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
