Thyroid thermogenesis in adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture: direct action of thyroid hormone in vitro. [PDF]

, 1979
We have studied the effect of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) on the respiration of adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture prepared from hypothyroid rat liver. After addition of T3 to the culture medium at a concentration of 2 x 10(-7) M, oxygen

Farnesoid X receptor activation increases cholesteryl ester transfer protein expression in humans and transgenic mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) activity results in a proatherogenic lipoprotein profile. In cholestatic conditions, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) signaling by bile acids (BA) is activated and plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are low.

Distinct roles of the IRE1α arm and PERK arm of unfolded protein response in arachidonic acid-induced ferroptosis in hepatocytes

Food Innovation and Advances, 2023
Ferroptosis is a distinct form of cell death that is driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly arachidonic acid (AA) and adrenal acid (AdA), are most prone to lipid peroxidation, which induces ...

A novel pathway for lipid biosynthesis: the direct acylation of glycerol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate by acyl-CoA is regarded as the first committed step for the synthesis of the lipoidal moiety in glycerolipids. The direct acylation of glycerol in mammalian tissues has not been demonstrated.

Hepatocyte growth factor, a key tumor-promoting factor in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]

, 2017
The tumor microenvironment plays a key role in tumor development and progression. Stromal cells secrete growth factors, cytokines and extracellular matrix proteins which promote growth, survival and metastatic spread of cancer cells.

Effect on the canine Eck fistula liver of intraportal TGF‐β alone or with hepatic growth factors [PDF]

, 1992
Transforming growth factor‐β canceled the hepatocyte proliferation caused by transforming growth factor‐α when the two substances were mixed and administered through a disconnected central portal vein branch after creation of an Eck fistula. In contrast,

Quantification of Nematic Cell Polarity in Three-dimensional Tissues [PDF]

, 2020
How epithelial cells coordinate their polarity to form functional tissues is an open question in cell biology. Here, we characterize a unique type of polarity found in liver tissue, nematic cell polarity, which is different from vectorial cell polarity ...

Influence of Polyethylene Glycol Lipid Desorption Rates on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of siRNA Lipid Nanoparticles

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2013
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating short interfering RNAs that target hepatic genes are advancing through clinical trials, and early results indicate the excellent gene silencing observed in rodents and nonhuman primates also translates to humans ...

Bolstering cholesteryl ester hydrolysis in liver: A hepatocyte-targeting gene delivery strategy for potential alleviation of atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2017
Current atherosclerosis treatment strategies primarily focus on limiting further cholesteryl esters (CE) accumulation by reducing endogenous synthesis of cholesterol in the liver.

Effect of Urtica dioica L extract on quantitative morphometric alterations of liver parenchymal cells in STZ diabetic rats [PDF]

, 2009
Diabetes is associated with several structural and functional liver abnormalities that affect glycogen and lipid metabolism. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Urtica dioica leaves on Quantitative ...
