In addition, BAR502 reduced liver fibrosis scores by 70% and expression of pro-fibrogenetic genes (αSMA and α1-collagen), as well as the inflammatory score and liver expression of F4/80, IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, RANTES and TNFα mRNA (Fig. 1H–L). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and Hepatic fibrosis.
