Brief description About one third of the population have a fatty liver, and this greatly increases risks of liver failure after liver surgery or when fatty donor livers are used for transplantation (such organs are currently disposed of). The disease process is called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The investigators have recently shown that both fibrates and statins provide partial protection against IRI in fatty livers. This research is directed at establish the protective mechanisms, and whether combination drugs are more effective.
