The role of human cytochrome P450 2E1 in liver inflammation and fibrosis. [PDF]
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in alcohol and toxin metabolism by catalyzing the conversion of substrates into more polar metabolites and producing reactive oxygen species.

Insulin/Snail1 axis ameliorates fatty liver disease by epigenetically suppressing lipogenesis
Insulin promotes lipogenesis but, on the other hand, insulin resistance is associated with increased lipogenesis in the liver. Here the authors show that Snail1 is upregulated by insulin and inhibits lipogenesis by repressing Fasn expression but insulin ...

Lipogenesis from amino acids in perfused isolated dog skin
Lipogenesis from amino acids has been studied in isolated perfused dog skin. Uniformly labeled alanine-14C, glycine-14C, isoleucine-14C, leucine-14C, phenylalanine-14C, and valine-14C are all incorporated into the cutaneous lipids, with significant ...

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).

Metabolic crosstalk: molecular links between glycogen and lipid metabolism in obesity. [PDF]
Glycogen and lipids are major storage forms of energy that are tightly regulated by hormones and metabolic signals. We demonstrate that feeding mice a high-fat diet (HFD) increases hepatic glycogen due to increased expression of the glycogenic ...

FAM13A and POM121C are candidate genes for fasting insulin: functional follow-up analysis of a genome-wide association study [PDF]
Aims/hypothesis: By genome-wide association meta-analysis, 17 genetic loci associated with fasting serum insulin (FSI), a marker of systemic insulin resistance, have been identified. To define potential culprit genes in these loci, in a cross-sectional

Relationship between NAFLD and coronary artery disease: A Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Background and Aims There is an ongoing debate on whether NAFLD is an active contributor or an innocent bystander in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess the causal relationship between NAFLD and CAD.

Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty

Targeting mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) regulates macrophage cholesterol efflux and lipid phenotype [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to establish mitochondrial cholesterol trafficking 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) as a potential therapeutic target, capable of increasing macrophage cholesterol efflux to (apo)lipoprotein acceptors.
