Alcohol-induced mitochondrial changes in liver disease. (A) Human Liver: Staining from a patient with alcohol-associated hepatitis. (B) Mouse Liver: Electron microscopy after alcohol feeding. Arrows show abnormally enlarged mitochondria (megamitochondria). Scale bars: 100 μm (A), 500 nm (B). (C) Mechanism: Alcohol reduces the protein DRP1, stopping normal mitochondrial splitting (fission) and trapping mitochondria in an inactive state (stasis, gray module). Disease Progression: While new megamitochondria temporarily protect the liver by boosting metabolism, chronic alcohol exposure destroys this defense. The damaged mitochondria then leak signals that trigger cell death, severe inflammation (via cGAS–STING), and abnormal cell growth, ultimately driving liver injury and tumors.
