Overview

Liver diseases comprise the spectrum of disorders that impair hepatic function, encompassing viral, alcohol-related, metabolic (steatotic), autoimmune, cholestatic, vascular, toxic and neoplastic conditions. The liver governs intermediary metabolism, bile production, plasma-protein and clotting-factor synthesis, glycogen storage and the biotransformation and clearance of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds, so injury manifests across synthetic, excretory and detoxifying domains. Pathophysiology spans acute hepatocellular necrosis, chronic inflammation with progressive fibrosis advancing to cirrhosis, and carcinogenesis, with clinical features including jaundice, ascites, encephalopathy and coagulopathy. Drug- and toxin-induced hepatotoxicity is a recurring theme, alongside nutritional and metabolic modulation of liver health and the search for hepatoprotective agents. Work in this area covers the burden and trends of chronic liver disease in hospital cohorts, amino acids and their derivatives in the pathogenesis and treatment of liver diseases, vitamin D deficiency in chronic liver disease, hepatoprotective antioxidant effects of tea polysaccharides, protection against carbon-tetrachloride toxicity by the 5-HT1A agonist buspirone, toxicity evaluation of plant extracts in rodents, epigenetic and nutritional influences, and the glycemic indexing of liver-specific nutritional supplements. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical, experimental and nutritional research across hepatic disease, injury and protection.
