Resveratrol inhibited hepatocyte apoptosis and alleviated liver fibrosis through miR-190a-5p /HGF axis.

Background: Hepatocyte apoptosis plays an important role in the progression of liver fibrosis. Overexpression of HGF (Hepatocyte growth factor) can reduce hepatocyte apoptosis and alleviate liver fibrosis. Our study aims to investigate whether resveratrol (Res) can alleviate liver fibrosis through miR-190a-5p /HGF axis.
