- Brief Summary
Gut microbiota modulation has effect on chronic liver disease
- Detailed Description
Chronic liver disease has been known as a disease of the liver which lasts over a period of 6-month. It consists of inflammation, hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma.
Gut microbiota plays an important roles in the chronic liver disease. It can suppress the progression of the liver disease by moulation gut microbiota.
