Does all-trans-retinoic acid ameliorate carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in mice through modulating cytokine production?
Our findings indicate that ATRA ameliorates liver fibrosis. As the oral administration of the drug results in good compliance, ATRA could be a novel approach in the treatment of liver fibrosis.
Increased plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentrations in the early or subacute phase of myocardial infarction are a powerful noninvasive indicator of poor prognosis, possibly reflecting residual left ventricular function after myocardial infarction.
