Hepatic Nervous System in Development, Regeneration, and Disease

Abstract

The liver is innervated by autonomic and sensory fibers of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that regulate liver function, regeneration, and disease. Although the importance of the hepatic nervous system in maintaining and restoring liver homeostasis is increasingly appreciated, much remains unknown about the specific mechanisms by which hepatic nerves both influence and are influenced by liver diseases. While recent work has begun to illuminate the developmental mechanisms underlying recruitment of nerves to the liver, evolutionary differences contributing to species‐specific patterns of hepatic innervation remain elusive. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the development of the hepatic nervous system and its role in liver regeneration and disease. We also highlight areas in which further investigation would greatly enhance our understanding of the evolution and function of liver innervation.

  • Branch vagotomy exerts an inhibitory effect on liver regeneration following PH, particularly during early phases.

    “The literature suggests that branch vagotomy exerts an inhibitory effect on liver regeneration following PH, particularly during the early phases of the regenerative process.[ 7 ]”

    From Electroacupuncture Promotes Liver Regeneration by Activating DMV Acetylcholinergic Neurons-Vagus-Macrophage Axis in 70% Partial Hepatectomy of Mice (2024) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Partial hepatectomy section reports that hepatic vagotomy reduces hepatocyte proliferation and liver-to-body weight ratios seven days after partial hepatectomy. It does not establish that the inhibitory effect is particularly strong during early regeneration; its separate reference to early stages concerns sympathetic nervous system activity, not vagotomy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
