Effect of alpha-tocopherol on tissue transglutaminase and reversibility of thioacetamide-induced liver fibrosis in rats [Alfa-tokoferol'ün doku transglutaminazlar üzerine etkisi ve sıçanda tiyoasetamid uyarımlı geridönüşümlü karaciğer fibrozu]
Both experimental and clinical studies have suggested the association between the deposition and stabilization of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and the development of liver fibrosis. Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) is known to stabilize the ECM proteins by its crosslinking activity that...
