Liver injury mediated by the UII and its receptor (UT) system is possibly associated with the activation of autophagy-related and apoptosis-resisted pathways of Kupffer cells in acute liver failure

The system of urotensin II (UII) and its receptor (UT) (or: UII/UT system) mediates hepatic immune inflamed injury in acute liver failure (ALF) with autophagy inhibition. However, it is unknown whether the system has an effect on liver autophagy in ALF. In this study, we attempted to explore hepatic...
