11 β‑hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase‑1 is associated with the activation of hepatic stellate cells in the development of hepatic fibrosis.

In conclusion, increased 11β‑HSD1 expression in the liver may be partially responsible for hepatic fibrogenesis, which is potentially associated with HSC activation and proliferation. PMID: 32945429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
