ABSTRACT
Hepatic fibrosis is the hallmark of most chronic liver diseases. Its essense is excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components(ECM) in liver, which occurs due to an imbalance between the production and degradation of matrix. Collagen is the most important part of ECM. Therefore,one important antifibrotic pathway is to effectively inhibit the synthesis of collagen or increase its degradation. The review describes the current progress in collagen metabolism and antifibrotic therapy related to hepatic fibrosis.
