Role of hepatic stellate cells in fibrogenesis in a model of pomegranate-treated fatty liver induced by junk food in male albino rats immunohistochemical and electron microscopic study

Abstract

IntroductionHepatic fibrogenesis is a common result of liver injury. It is believed to be a critical factor that leads to hepatic failure. A critical event in fibrogenesis is activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).Aim of workThe aim of this investigation was to study the role of HSCs in fibroge
