The adipokine sFRP4 induces insulin resistance and lipogenesis in the liver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2019
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
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.

Development and characterization of a new human hepatic cell line [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The increasing demand and hampered use of primary human hepatocytes for research purposes have urged scientists to search for alternative cell sources, such as immortalized hepatic cell lines.

Scavenger receptor BI facilitates the metabolism of VLDL lipoproteins in vivo

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
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]

open access: yes, 1999
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesСахарный диабет, 2016
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 ...

Intestinal Epithelial Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Modulate Hepatic Injury via the Gut-Liver Axis During Acute Alcohol Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Binge drinking, i.e., heavy episodic drinking in a short time, has recently become an alarming societal problem with negative health impact. However, the harmful effects of acute alcohol injury in the gut-liver axis remain elusive.
