Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing process in the chronically injured liver. Clinical application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is of considerable interest for wound healing and regeneration. In view of the regeneration effect of PRP, we designed this study to explore the hypothesis that PRP could play a role in improving the biochemical and molecular changes that occur in liver fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in rats.
