GDF11 induces mild hepatic fibrosis independent of metabolic health

2020

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11) is an anti-aging factor, yet its role in liver diseases is not established. We evaluated the role of GDF11 in healthy conditions and in the transition from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). RESULTS: GDF11 mRNA levels positively correlated with NAFLD activity score and with CPT1, SREBP, PPAR? and Col1A1 mRNA levels, and associated to portal fibrosis, in morbidly obese patients with NAFLD/NASH. GDF11-treated mice showed mildly exacerbated hepatic collagen deposition, accompanied by weight loss and without changes in liver steatosis or inflammation. GDF11 triggered ALK5-dependent SMAD2/…

The Clinical Course of Portal Hypertension in Liver Cirrhosis

2000

Portal hypertension is caused by liver cirrhosis in almost %% of patients in Europe and in North America. Other causes such as hepato-splenic schistosomiasis, noncirrhotic portal fibrosis and extrahepatic portal vein thrombosis are more common in Asia and South America.
