Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate positively affects concanavalin A-induced liver damage by regulating macrophage polarization

The deficient functional polarization of macrophages is implicated in the disease progression of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). This study aims to evaluate the impact of Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis in a mouse model, thereby clarifying the molecular me...
