5-Aminolevulinic Acid Attenuates Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 Expression and Hepatocyte Lipoapoptosis via Heme Oxygenase-1 Induction
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a pivotal role in the progression of steatohepatitis. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a precursor in the heme biosynthetic pathway, has recently been reported to induce heme oxygenase (HO)-1. HO-1 exerts important cytoprotective actions. In this study, we aimed...
