Core Tip |
Managing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a clinical challenge, with many unanswered questions, as autophagy and epigenetics appear to contribute to drug resistance. Additionally, the broad-spectrum oral antibiotic Rifaximin influences inflammation, energy metabolism, and fat storage. Utilizing animal models for MASLD-HCC is crucial in understanding pathophysiological mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Furthermore, Rifaximin may have a beneficial effect in rats by possibly preventing or delaying hepatic carcinogenesis through epigenetic modulation. |
