Inflammation directly impacts the liver, as treatments like Alpha-Mangosteen reduce liver inflammation and alterations [1], inflammation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis damages liver cells leading to cirrhosis [2], and excess sugar causes liver-produced fatty acids that trigger inflammation [3]. Conversely, the liver produces C-reactive protein (CRP) in response to inflammation throughout the body [4], [5], [6].
