Role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease

Endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) is a pathological condition characterized by the homeostasis imbalance and physiological dysfunction of endoplasmic reticulum.It is summarized from existing articles and reports that the various factors that lead to physical dysfunction can cause ERS and unfolded protein response.Recent studies have shown that ERS is involved in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver injury and plays an important role in the process.
