Article Synopsis
- Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious issue during liver surgery and transplantation, especially in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
- The study found that histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) plays a protective role against liver damage caused by IRI, as its levels decrease in fatty livers, which contributes to increased injury.
- HRG's presence helps reduce neutrophil infiltration and associated damage, suggesting it could be a potential therapeutic target for minimizing liver damage in NASH patients.
