Reactive oxygen and mechanisms of inflammatory liver injury: Present concepts

Liver cell death induced by stresses such as ischemia‐reperfusion, cholestasis and drug toxicity can trigger a sterile inflammatory response with activation of innate immune cells through release of damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). A similar inflammatory response can be induced by pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as endotoxin. Both DAMPs and PAMPs activate through toll‐like receptors the resident macrophages...
