| Core Tip |
Hepatic fibrosis is a chronic condition that can lead to cirrhosis, but treatment options are limited and ineffective. Agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), such as rosiglitazone have shown limited efficacy. The hormone relaxin has antifibrotic effects, and increases the activity of PPARγ, leading to the hypothesis that combination treatment may be more effective. Mice with established hepatic fibrosis were treated with relaxin and rosiglitazone alone or in combination. Combination treatment reduced liver fibrosis, and increased the level of a PPARγ coactivator. These results suggest that relaxin and PPARγ co-therapy could be a more effective treatment for hepatic fibrosis. |
