Analysis of the effects of xanthohumol on hepatic homeostasis, inflammation, fibrosis and cancerogenesis [PDF]

, 2009
Xanthohumol is the major prenylated chalcone found in hops, and it has been shown to exhibit various biological effects. However, xanthohumol effects on liver cells or in liver diseases, respectively, are widely unknown.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

EARLY DETECTION OF LIVER FIBROSIS IN RATS USING 3-D ULTRASOUND NAKAGAMI IMAGING: A FEASIBILITY EVALUATION

, 2017
We investigated the feasibility of using 3-D ultrasound Nakagami imaging to detect the early stages of liver fibrosis in rats. Fibrosis was induced in livers of rats (n = 60) by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5% dimethylnitrosamine (DMN). Group 1 was the

Insulin sensitisers in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2011
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely linked with obesity and the prevalence of NAFLD is about 17% to 33% in the Western world. There is a strong association of NAFLD with insulin resistance and, hence, insulin sensitisers have been tried.

ECM formation and degradation during fibrosis, repair, and regeneration

npj Metabolic Health and Disease
Imperfect attempts at organ repair after repeated injury result in aberrant formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and loss of tissue structure. This abnormal ECM goes from being a consequence of cellular dysregulation to become the backbone of a ...

Fibroblast growth factor 18 stimulates the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells, thereby inducing liver fibrosis

Nature Communications, 2023
Liver fibrosis results from chronic liver injury triggered by factors such as viral infection, excess alcohol intake, and lipid accumulation. However, the mechanisms underlying liver fibrosis are not fully understood.

Glucokinase links Kruppel-like factor 6 to the regulation of hepatic insulin sensitivity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]

, 2011
The polymorphism, KLF6-IVS1-27A, in the Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) transcription factor gene enhances its splicing into antagonistic isoforms and is associated with delayed histological progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.
