We demonstrated that PEBP4 CKO aggravated CCl4-triggered liver fibrosis, as evidenced by altered histopathology, an increase in the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and hydroxyproline (HYP) levels, and more collagen deposition, as well as by enhanced expression of fibrotic markers including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I and collagen III. Here, GPT is linked to Hepatic fibrosis.
