| Research Abstract |
For making up a hybrid type artificial liver support system, functions of the Kupffer cell must be analyzed. As results, the Kupffer cell controlled systemic inflammation such as a sepsis with cytokine network and systemic immune system. And more inflammatory cytokine from the Kupffer cell cause a hepatocellular carcinoma. Activation of the Kupffer cell can be suppressed by administration of some drugs and foods such as medium-chain triglycerides.
