The increased expression and cross-linking activity of tissue
transglutaminase (tTG) have been demonstrated in acute liver injury and
fibrosis. We focused on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to
ethanol-induced tTG expression and investigated the efficacy of propolis
components in preventing both the tTG expression in vitro and
fibrogenesis in vivo...
