What was done
This chapter reviews mechanistic interactions between hepatic cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of xenobiotics and endobiotics and the activation of liver innate immune cells (such as Kupffer cells, natural killer cells, and neutrophils) across clinical diseases and experimental models.
What was found
The abstract reports no numerical data, effect estimates, or sample sizes. It provides a qualitative overview describing how CYP-generated metabolites can trigger innate immune responses leading to chronic inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
Why it matters
It highlights how biotransformation pathways and innate immunity intersect to drive drug-induced hepatotoxicity and chronic liver disease pathogenesis.
Limits
As a narrative review, it lacks systematic search criteria, quality appraisal of included studies, and original human data. No quantitative findings are reported in the abstract.
