Up-regulation of nerve growth factor in cholestatic livers and its hepatoprotective role against oxidative stress.

The role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in liver injury induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between inflammation and hepatic NGF expression, to explore the possible upstream molecules up-regulating NGF, and to determine whether NGF coul...
