Abstract

Fibrosis in the liver can result in portal hypertension and structural changes, eventually progressing to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver fibrosis is caused by the activation of liver hepatic stellate cells. Treatment of liver fibrosis may involve the induction of apoptosis or prevention of activation of activated hepatic stellate cells. A novel therapeutic strategy for treating liver fibrosis caused by hepatic stellate cells may be developed through complementary and alternative therapies. Therefore, in this article, we discuss recent investigations into the complementary and alternative medicine as a means of preventing and treating liver fibrosis.

肝脏疾病的补充和替代医学

肝纤维化可导致门脉高压和结构改变，最终发展为肝硬化或肝细胞癌。肝纤维化是由肝星状细胞活化引起的。肝纤维化的治疗可能涉及诱导细胞凋亡或防止活化的肝星状细胞的活化。一种新的治疗策略，治疗肝星状细胞引起的肝纤维化可能通过补充和替代治疗发展。因此，在本文中，我们讨论了最近的研究补充和替代医学作为预防和治疗肝纤维化的手段。

期刊介绍： Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products. To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine. The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
