Title: [Hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory effects of infliximab on experimental alcoholic steatohepatitis].
Abstract: The effect of infliximab (1 and 10 mg/kg, i.p., during 10 days) on alcoholic steatohepatitis has been studied in rats fed with ethanol-containing liquid diet over 10 weeks. Both doses of infliximab showed immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, whereas only the maximum drug dose significantly decreased lipid accumulation in the liver. It can be concluded that infliximab (10 mg/kg) acts as an effective hepatoprotector, anti-inflammatory agent, and immunomodulator in rats with experimental alcoholic steatohepatitis.
