Capillaria hepatica-induced septal fibrosis in rats: a contribution to the study of liver fibrogenesis Contribuição para o estudo da fibrogenesis hepática em ratos infectados com Capillaria hepatica [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2010 INTRODUCTION: Septal fibrosis of the liver regularly develops in rats infected with the nematode Capillaria hepatica. Curative treatment of the infection prevents the development of septal fibrosis when intervention occurs up to postinfection day (PID ...

Effect of interferon-alpha on experimental septal fibrosis of the liver - study with a new model [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 Interferon-alpha is used in antiviral therapy in humans, mainly for viral hepatitis B and C. An anti-fibrotic effect of interferon has been postulated even in the absence of anti-viral response, which suggests that interferon directly inhibits ...

Production of septal fibrosis of the liver by means of foreign protein injections into rats [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2003 Similarities and differences in antigenic humoral responses and electrophoretic patterns between Capillaria hepatica and pig-serum were investigated as a contribution to the understanding of hepatic fibrosis induced by the parenteral administration of ...

Immunological basis of septal fibrosis of the liver in Capillaria hepatica-infected rats [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003 Rats infected with the helminth Capillaria hepatica regularly develop septal fibrosis of the liver similar to that induced by repeated ip injections of pig serum.

Microstructural disease and hypoperfusion in dilated cardiomyopathy underpin midwall septal fibrosis. [PDF]
J Cardiovasc Magn ResonThe presence of midwall septal fibrosis (MSF) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been shown to be associated with adverse clinical outcomes, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are incompletely understood. We investigated whether MSF associates with a distinct pattern of myocardial microstructural and microvascular abnormalities using ...

Nonischemic Septal Fibrosis in Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation Provides Incremental Stratification of Adverse Remodeling and Prognosis. [PDF]
JACC Cardiovasc ImagingFunctional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) arises from impaired valve integrity resulting from contractile dysfunction, chamber dilation, or myocardial tissue alterations. Whereas right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a recognized driver of adverse outcomes in TR, the impact of myocardial tissue injury, particularly nonischemic septal fibrosis (NIsF ...

Regression of fibrosis and reversal of cirrhosis in rats by galectin inhibitors in thioacetamide-induced liver disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Galectin-3 protein is critical to the development of liver fibrosis because galectin-3 null mice have attenuated fibrosis after liver injury. Therefore, we examined the ability of novel complex carbohydrate galectin inhibitors to treat toxin-induced ...
