2. 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]

3. Liver regeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_regeneration

   Liver regeneration is the process by which the liver is able to replace damaged or lost liver tissue. The liver is the only visceral organ with the capacity to regenerate. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The liver can regenerate after partial hepatectomy or injury due to hepatotoxic agents such as certain medications, toxins, or chemicals. [ 3 ]

4. 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 ...

5. Lipogenesis inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis_inhibitor

   Lipogenesis inhibitor is a class of drug that works by inhibiting de novo lipogenesis—the generation of fatty acids in the body. These drugs target enzymes involved in lipogenesis, such as citrate/isocitrate carrier (CIC), ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS).

6. Chronic liver disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_liver_disease

   Chronic liver disease takes several years to develop and the condition may not be recognised unless there is clinical awareness of subtle signs and investigation of abnormal liver function tests. Testing for chronic liver disease involves blood tests, imaging including ultrasound, and a biopsy of the liver. The liver biopsy is a simple ...

7. Hepatic lipase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_lipase

   The activation of HL occurs in two steps. First, HDL that makes its way to the liver, binds to HL thereby removing the heparan sulfate proteoglycan and freeing up the hepatic lipase into the bloodstream, but HL is still inactive due to the proteins on the surface of the lipoprotein. Second, HDL unbinds from HL to activate HL enzymes in the ...
