Tag: Fibrosis reversal

Studies using mouse models have shown that even short periods of food deprivation can positively influence liver pathology in fibrotic livers. This evidence points toward a fascinating question: can fasting reverse fibrosis in humans, or at least halt its progression?

Chronic inflammation and persistent injury can trigger a complex process where the normal balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation becomes deregulated, leading to fibrosis. A growing body of research explores the profound question of whether diet can reverse fibrosis by modifying the disease's underlying mechanisms.
