Drinking can lead to alcoholic liver disease which can progress to fibrosis of the liver which in turn can potentially lead to liver cancer Murray said.

what are the triggers that allow that progression to happen he said noting that why some people have a higher risk than others of developing liver disease from drinking is understood not medically or biochemically.

Cirrhosis is the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis where liver tissue has been replaced largely by scar tissue.

Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day (23 24 25.

Coffee appears to be protective against certain liver disorders lowering the risk of liver cancer by 40%and cirrhosis by as much as 80%.

but I was surprised at the dramatic reduction of inflammation and fatty liver disease. The researchers reported that several indicators of inflammation

Elevated triglyceride levels are a sign of fatty liver disease and are related to inflammation and diabetes.

Hepatitis a is endemic in developing nations that lack modern sanitation and clean water. The virus is transmitted orally

One major question raised by the finding is why the Hepatitis a vaccine works so well to contain the infection.

It makes us rethink completely the mechanism underlying the well-documented efficacy of Hepatitis a vaccine.

#Critical end-stage liver disease discovery madea team of researchers in the University of Arizona's College of Pharmacy has discovered a molecular pathway that could be key to creating new therapeutics that would slow or even reverse

the progression of end-stage liver disease. Although cirrhosis of the liver is associated most commonly with alcohol or drug abuse the condition--marked by scar tissue replacing healthy liver tissue--also can result from viral hepatitis obesity and diabetes as well as certain inherited diseases.

According to the National institutes of health cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death by disease in the U s as with many other human pathologic conditions end-stage liver disease goes hand in hand with oxidative stress

which refers to damage inflicted to biological tissues by reactive oxygen molecules. Such molecules also called free radicals occur naturally as a byproduct of metabolic processes in the body

and are associated with many chronic diseases including cancer diabetes neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Cells keep oxidative stress under control through various mechanisms said Donna Zhang a professor in the UA Department of Pharmacology

During liver cirrhosis Nrf2 should be induced by oxidative stress but for reasons unclear until this study this does not happen.

Somehow the protective mechanism mediated by Nrf2 is compromised by another factor other than Keap1 in liver cirrhosis. Adding to the mystery is the fact that drugs aimed at inhibiting Keap1 from chewing up Nrf2 have proven ineffective in a cirrhotic liver.

As liver cirrhosis progresses excessive inflammation triggers the garbage-mediated stress response and Hrd1 becomes very abundant

In laboratory experiments Zhang and her colleagues were able to restore Nrf2 levels in cirrhotic liver tissue by inactivating Hrd1 effectively reversing liver cirrhosis in mice.

The study Hrd1 suppresses Nrf2-mediated cellular protection during liver cirrhosis is published in the April 1 issue of the journal Genes and Development.
