Osteopontin (OPN) is a protein synthesized and secreted by many different types of cells. It plays an important part in the regulation of the inflammatory and immune response. OPN is also pro-fibrogenic, and has anti-apoptotic properties. The nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD) are the leading causes of...

Les stéatopathies métaboliques sont la manifestation hépatique de l'insulinorésistance. Elles correspondent à un spectre lésionnel allant de la stéatose à la stéatohépatite non alcoolique (NASH), associant à la stéatose une inflammation et une souffrance hépatocytaire. Ces lésions peuvent évoluer vers la fibrose, la cirrhose et ses...

Background: While metabolic health in obesity may confer a protective status, recent studies indicate that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or even nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may exist in this category of individuals. Although cardiovascular and diabetic risks have been well described, the risk of NAFLD and NASH among this...

Quantification of hepatocyte death is useful to evaluate the progression of alcoholic liver diseases. Our aims were to quantify and correlate the circulating levels of Cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and its caspases-generated fragment to disease severity in heavy alcoholics.
