Core Tip Liver fibrosis, a wound-healing response to chronic hepatic injury, is driven by redox-sensitive pathways, reactive oxygen species, and pro-fibrogenic cytokines like transforming growth factor-β. Silybum marianum (milk thistle), particularly its active compound silybin, exhibits promising antioxidant and anti-fibrotic properties. This study explores the biochemical oxidative mechanisms behind fibrogenesis and highlights silibin’s potential in reversing liver fibrosis through inhibition of oxidative stress and fibrogenic signaling pathways.
