Fig. 20.1 Hematopoiesis. The current model of hematopoiesis is depicted below. In this model hematopoietic cells are derived from a small number of HSCs that progress through a series of…

Fig. 16.1 ALDHs modulate carcinogenesis by metabolizing acetaldehyde and retinaldehyde. Ethanol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), catalase, and CYP2E1 to acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde can interfere with antioxidative defense systems (AODS)…

Fig. 8.1 Synergistically increased risk for HCV-mediated HCC by alcohol abuse or/and obesity. Comorbidity such as alcohol abuse and obesity synergistically heightens the risk of developing HCC by 6- to…

Fig. 10.1 Schematic model showing the overall domain structure and posttranslational modifications of PTEN. PTEN is a 403 amino acid protein that contains five domains. On the N-terminal side is…

Fig. 2.1 Consumption of 20 % alcohol enhanced tumorigenesis in mice. Ovariectomy abolished this effect despite alcohol-induced increase in estrogen levels (From Wong et al. [61]) The results of this…
