Does ghrelin alleviate biliary obstruction-induced chronic hepatic injury in rats?
Owing to the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effect as demonstrated in our study, it is possible to speculate that exogenously administered ghrelin may possess an antifibrotic effect against biliary obstruction-induced liver fibrosis. Thus, it seems likely that ghrelin may be of potential therapeutic value in protecting the liver fibrosis and oxidative injury due to biliary obstruction.
