Circulating thrombospondin 2 levels reflect fibrosis severity and disease activity in HCV-infected patients

2022-07-19

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Among several secreted glycoproteins belonging to the thrombospondin family, thrombospondin 2 (TSP2) is involved in various functions, including collagen/fibrin formation, maintenance of normal vascular density, and cell adhesion. Liver/serum TSP2 levels have been correlated to liver fibrosis stage and disease activity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This study investig...
