Inhibition of Phagocytosis Prevents Proper Kupffer Cell Function

Question

Inhibition of phagocytosis prevents proper Kupffer cell function.

Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is a critical function of Kupffer cells, which are liver-resident macrophages. Inhibition of phagocytosis can prevent Kupffer cells from clearing bacteria, debris, and toxins from the liver, leading to impaired liver function and potentially harmful effects on overall health.
