Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and Fas ligand (FasL) are trimeric proteins that induce apoptosis through similar caspase-dependent pathways. Hepatocytes are particularly sensitive to inflammation-induced programmed cell death, although the contribution of TNF-alpha and/or FasL to this injury response is still unclear. Here, we report that D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury in C57BL/6...
