Apelin aggravates inflammatory response and hepatic steatosis in alcohol-associated liver disease via ERK signaling pathway
Though apelin is involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and homeostasis disorders, its role in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of apelin in promoting hepatic inflammation in ALD. RAW 264.7 macrophages and a chronic alcohol-fed C57BL/6 mous...
