2. Fatty liver disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_liver_disease

   Fatty liver disease (FLD), also known as hepatic steatosis and steatotic liver disease (SLD), is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. [1] Often there are no or few symptoms. [1] [2] Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. [1] Complications may include cirrhosis, liver cancer, and ...

3. Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease

   Second, insulin promotes the production of new FFAs in the liver via de novo lipogenesis; this production of liver fats continues to be stimulated by insulin, even when other tissues are insulin-resistant. [20] These FFAs are combined back into triglycerides in the liver, forming the major constituent of the accumulated fat in the liver. [20]

4. Steatohepatitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatohepatitis

   Steatohepatitis is a type of fatty liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver. Mere deposition of fat in the liver is termed steatosis, and together these constitute fatty liver changes. [1] There are 2 main types of fatty liver disease (FLD):

5. Lipogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis

   In biochemistry, lipogenesis is the conversion of fatty acids and glycerol into fats, or a metabolic process through which acetyl-CoA is converted to triglyceride for storage in fat. [1] Lipogenesis encompasses both fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis , with the latter being the process by which fatty acids are esterified to glycerol before ...

6. Ketogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenesis

   Its activation in the liver inhibits lipogenesis, promotes fatty acid oxidation, switches off acetyl-CoA carboxylase, turns on malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, and consequently induces ketogenesis. [8] Ethanol is a potent AMPK inhibitor [ 9 ] and therefore can cause significant disruptions in the metabolic state of the liver, including halting of ...

7. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

   In animals, these fats are obtained from food and are synthesized by the liver. [1] Lipogenesis is the process of synthesizing these fats. [2] [3] The majority of lipids found in the human body from ingesting food are triglycerides and cholesterol. [4] Other types of lipids found in the body are fatty acids and membrane lipids.
