Liver lipid metabolism

Abstract: Summary The liver plays a key role in lipid metabolism. Depending on species it is, more or less, the hub of fatty acid synthesis and lipid circulation through lipoprotein synthesis. Eventually the accumulation of lipid droplets into the hepatocytes results in hepatic steatosis, which may develop as a consequence of multiple dysfunctions such as alterations in β‐oxidation, very low density lipoprotein secretion, and pathways involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. In addition an increased circulating pool of… Show more

“…MTTP knockout mice caused a striking reduction in VLDL assembly and secretion in the liver (Liao et al, 2003). ApoB is a key component whose synthesis rate controls the overall rate of VLDL production (Nguyen et al, 2008). FoxO1 is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the hepatic VLDL assembly and secretion.…”

“…In poultry, however, the liver rather than adipose tissue, plays a key role in lipid metabo- lism. Fatty acid synthesis in poultry also mainly occurs in the liver rather than in fat tissue (Nguyen et al, 2008). Therefore, the liver is a vital organ for studying the effect of cold stress on the body in poultry.…”

“…Once inside the liver, the fatty acids derived from the TG may be used to obtain energy or for the synthesis of complex lipids such as phospholipids. Alternatively, however, they may be re-synthesized into TG, packaged together with cholesterol and phospholipid into very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and returned to the blood [9]. Since hepatic VLDL secretion is increased postprandially [10], postprandial lipemia is caused by raised levels of CM, CMR and VLDL in the blood.…”
