Interleukin-10 promoter polymorphism predicts initial response of chronic hepatitis C to interferon alfa.

TL;DR: Heterogeneity in the promoter region of the IL‐10 gene has a role in determining the initial response of chronic hepatitis C to IFN‐α therapy and patients who are genetically predisposed to high IL-10 production have a poor response to IFn‐α and may benefit from additional treatment strategies designed to enhance a T‐helper type 1 (Th1) response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steatosis: Co-factor in other liver diseases

TL;DR: In conclusion, active management of obesity and a reduction in steatosis may improve liver injury and decrease the progression of fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrosis correlates with a ductular reaction in hepatitis C: Roles of impaired replication, progenitor cells and steatosis

TL;DR: The strong correlation between portal fibrosis and a periportal ductular reaction with HPC expansion, the exacerbation by steatosis, and the associations with impaired hepatocyte replication suggest that an altered regeneration pathway drives theductular reaction.
