Role of insulin-like growth factor, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, transcription factors and adipokines in development of hepatocellular carcinoma in metabolic s... by O. V. Smirnova, F. A. Gershkoron

“…The total number of publications studied in all databases exceeded 570 units, while the review presents the most significant results at the present stage. Insulin resistance and obesity, through the development of a systemic chronic inflammatory state, lead to increased inflammation and fibrosis in the liver, which are prodromal signs of hepatocarcinogenesis, increase the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 and disrupt the regulation of the insulin-like growth factor pathway. …”
