The adipokine sFRP4 induces insulin resistance and lipogenesis in the liver [PDF]
Secreted frizzled-related protein (sFRP) 4 is an adipokine with increased expression in white adipose tissue from obese subjects with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Lipid droplet size directs lipolysis and lipophagy catabolism in hepatocytes
Lipolysis and lipophagy are thought to be distinct mechanisms for lipid droplet catabolism. In hepatocytes, Schott et al. report that these pathways may operate synergistically: the lipolysis enzyme ATGL targets large LDs upstream of lipophagy, which is ...

Role of hepatic stellate cells in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major complication of liver trauma, resection, and transplantation. IRI may lead to liver dysfunction and failure, but effective approach to address it is still lacking.

Scavenger receptor BI facilitates the metabolism of VLDL lipoproteins in vivo
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) functions as an HDL receptor that promotes the selective uptake of cholesteryl esters (CEs). The physiological role of SR-BI in VLDL metabolism, however, is largely unknown.

A fresh look at augmenter of liver regeneration in rats. [PDF]
Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is a hepatotrophic protein originally identified by bioassay in regenerating rat and canine livers following partial hepatectomy and in the hyperplastic livers of weanling rats, but not in resting adult livers.

Hepatocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Increasingly, research suggests that for certain systems, animal models are insufficient for human toxicology testing. The development of robust, in vitro models of human toxicity is required to decrease our dependence on potentially misleading in vivo animal studies.

Mechanisms of transcriptional control of glucose metabolism in hepatocytes
The hepatic tissue plays a key role in the regulation and maintenance of stable blood glucose levels. The liver is the main gluconeogenesis organ of the body and is under constant hormonal control to determine the metabolic activity of hepatocytes ...
