activins and Cirrhosis, Liver

activins has been researched along with Cirrhosis, Liver in 13 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To examine the expression of activin A, a member of the transforming growth factor (TGFbeta) superfamily, recently has been reported to be overexpressed in liver cirrhosis, in the course of carbon tetrachloride-induced rat hepatic fibrosis."3.71Expression changes of activin A in the development of hepatic fibrosis. ( Cheng, JL; Huang, X; Li, DG; Li, X; Lu, HM; Wang, ZR; Wei, HS; Xu, QF; Zhan, YT; Zhou, X, 2001)
"Liver fibrosis is the end stage of almost all chronic liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and at the moment, there is no effective anti-fibrotic therapy available."3.01Expression and Function of BMP and Activin Membrane-Bound Inhibitor (BAMBI) in Chronic Liver Diseases and Hepatocellular Carcinoma. ( Buechler, C; Mester, P; Treeck, O; Weber, F, 2023)
"In patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, n=38), there were particularly high levels of activin A that were significantly related to the degree of hepatic fibrosis."1.35A complex role of activin A in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. ( Aukrust, P; Berge, C; Berge, RK; Birkeland, K; Bjøro, K; Dahl, TB; Damås, JK; Gladhaug, IP; Haaland, T; Halvorsen, B; Haukeland, JW; Konopski, Z; Linnestad, P; Løberg, EM; Yndestad, A, 2009)
