TL;DR
It is suggested that environmental factors may be responsible for precancerous and cancerous states of the liver and that in man these probably act on a favorably prepared soil, the nature of which is determined largely on a nutritional basis.

The entire series of carcinogenic agents could be conceived as acting through the induction of abnormal protein patterns in a cell, and it is certain that this type of change must involve certain proteins, nucleic acids, or both.

It appears that most—if not all—of these neoplasms, regardless of their histological patterns, arise from areas of cholangiofibrosis and thus have a common pathogenesis.

160 Citations1944Eugene L. Opie
Hyperplasia of the liver may occur with butter yellow administration in the absence of cirrhosis or other change associated with widespread destruction of liver tissue; it occurs as diffuse or focal lesions and affects both parenchymal cells and newly formed ducts.

Confirmation of the correlation between fat intake and cholesterol values is afforded by two types of evidence: Firstly, populations subjected to dietary restrictions, which invariably include reducedFat intake, have been shown to have lower cholesterol levels than when the relevant conditions returned to normal, and secondly, populations habituated to a high fat intake, who have higher mean cholesterol values.

122 Citations1952Richard Terry
A careful assessment of the initial effect of parenteral liver extract or vitamin Bi is necessary, and, if not classical, a fat-balance test should be the next investigation irrespective of the gross appearance of the stools or a history of intestinal dysfunction.
The Journal of Experimental MedicineOBSERVATIONS ON THE CONDITIONS OF DIETARY HEPATIC INJURY (NECROSIS, CIRRHOSIS) IN RATS
111 Citations1942Paul György, Harry Goldblatt
Experimental dietary hepatic injury in rats is determined by the dietary factors instrumental also in the production of fat infiltration of the liver and thus opposed to the lipotropic activity of casein, and Cystine, proved to be a factor which aggravated this condition.
PubMedKwashiorkor in Africa.
111 Citations1952J. F. Brock
It appears that the highest incidence of the disease occurs in infants and young children and that the mortality-rates in some parts of Africa are disturbingly high, so the name infantile pellagra should not be used for this syndrome.
