Dietary macronutrients and the aging liver sinusoidal endothelial cell.
Fenestrations are pores within the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) that line the sinusoids of the highly vascularized liver. Fenestrations facilitate the transfer of substrates between blood and hepatocytes. With pseudocapillarization of the hepatic sinusoid in old age, there is a loss of fenestrations. LSECs are uniquely exposed to gut-derived dietary and microbial substrates delive...
متن کاملLiver sinusoidal endothelial cells and liver regeneration.
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have long been noted to contribute to liver regeneration after liver injury. In normal liver, the major cellular source of HGF is the hepatic stellate cell, but after liver injury, HGF expression has been thought to increase markedly in proliferating LSECs. However, emerging data suggest that even after injury, LSEC expression of HGF does not increase ...
متن کاملInfluence of dietary macronutrients on liver fat accumulation and metabolism
The liver is a principal metabolic organ within the human body and has a major role in regulating carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. With increasing rates of obesity, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is growing. It remains unclear why NAFLD, which is now defined as the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, develops but lifestyle factors such as diet...
متن کاملThe liver sinusoidal endothelial cell: a cell type of controversial and confusing identity.
A look through the literature on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) reveals that there are several conflicts among different authors of what this cell type is and does. Major controversies that will be highlighted in this review include aspects of the physiological role, the characterization, and the protocols of isolation and cultivation of these cells. Many of these conflicts may be a...
متن کاملRac1, caveolin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor -mediated liver sinusoidal endothelial cell angiogenesis
Rac1, caveolin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated liver sinusoidal endothelial cell angiogenesis Rac1 and cell morphogenesis In this issue of Liver International, Yokomori et al. (1) detailed how Rac1, a member of the Rho-GTPases protein family, plays a key role in the migration of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and in the subsequent process of capillary-like tubular ...
