Abstract. Apoptosis, a morphologically distinct mode of cell death occurs as a result of both physiological and pathological stimuli in a variety of mammalian organs including the liver. In this overview, the importance and role of apoptosis during hepatocarcinogenesis is described. Evidence for toxicant/drug and receptor induced apoptosis and its importance in certain liver diseases are also provided in this review. This overview is meant to serve as a foundation to the importance of the role of apoptosis especially in certain liver diseases.
