Despite recent advances in the understanding of mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of liver diseases, therapeutic agents are still needed in several instances such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease or fibrogenesis associated with chronic liver injury. Over the past
Objectives To evaluate the risk of complication in hospitalized chronic hepatitis C (CHC), patients with cannabis use disorder (CUD). Methods We conducted a retrospective study using the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS), and included 31,623 patients (age 15-54) with a primary international
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric disorder of complex pathogenesis caused by acute or chronic liver failure. We studied the etiology of cerebral dysfunction in a murine model of HE induced by either bile duct ligation or thioacetamide administration. We report that stimulation of
OBJECTIVE
We have shown the beneficial effects of cannabinoids in a murine model of hepatic encephalopathy following thioacetamide and now report their effects on the liver injury.
METHODS
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) was induced by administration of 200 mg/kg thioacetamide to wild-type (WT) and
Cannabinoids are a group of compounds acting primarily via CB1 and CB2 receptors. The expression of cannabinoid receptors in normal liver is low or absent. However, many reports have proven up-regulation of the expression of CB1 and CB2 receptors in hepatic myofibroblasts and vascular endothelial
Although the mortality rates of cirrhosis are underestimated, its socioeconomic burden has demonstrated a significant global impact. Cirrhosis is defined by the disruption of normal liver architecture after years of chronic insult by different etiologies. Treatment modalities are recommended
Angiogenesis in liver cirrhosis leads to splanchnic hyperemia, increased portal inflow, and portosystemic collaterals formation, which may induce lethal complications, such as gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage and hepatic encephalopathy. Cannabinoids (CBs) inhibit angiogenesis, but the relevant
