Article Title: Systemic and liver cytokine activation: Implications for liver regeneration and posthepatectomy endotoxemia and sepsis
Abstract: Hepatectomy elicits a circulating cytokine response without effects on liver IL-6 or TNF-α production. However, cytokine defense mechanisms are intact during noncomplicated liver regeneration, as indicated by normal TNF-α and IL-6 responses to endotoxemia or sepsis. Endotoxemia is a more potent stimulus for liver cytokine production than local trauma or liver regeneration, suggesting that not only the proximity to injury but also the severity and mechanisms of injury determine local cytokine responses.
