Caveolin1 protects against diet induced hepatic lipid accumulation in mice
BACKGROUND AND AIM Caveolin1 (CAV1) is involved in lipid homeostasis and endocytosis, but little is known about the significance of CAV1 in the pathogenesis and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to determine the role of CAV1 in NAFLD. METHODS Expression of CAV1 in the in vitro and in vivo models of NAFLD was analyzed. The effects of CAV1 knockdown or ov...
متن کاملGlycine modulates hepatic lipid accumulation in alcohol-induced liver injury.
We studied the effect of administering glycine, a non-essential amino acid, on serum and tissue lipids in experimental hepatotoxic Wistar rats. All the rats were fed standard pellet diet. Hepatotoxicity was induced by administering ethanol (7.9 g kg(-1)) for 30 days by intragastric intubation. Control rats were given isocaloric glucose solution. Glycine was subsequently administered at a dose o...
متن کاملPropranolol induced lipid accumulation and mitochondrial granularity in myocardial cells.
The ultrastructure of the left ventricular wall was studied in mice given intraperitoneal injections of propranolol (5 mg or 20 mg.kg-1 b.w. twice a day for 48 h with an additional dose 3 h before death), and in saline injected controls. Injections of propranolol increase the number of lipid droplets in areas of the myocardium. Fractional volume of lipid droplets in myocardial cells determined ...
متن کاملLipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance
principal function of insulin in the liver is to suppress glucose production when blood glucose concentrations increase. This process is impaired in hepatic insulin resistance and contributes to postprandial hyperglycemia. The development of hepatic insulin resistance is very closely linked to non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and is a major factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabete...
متن کاملβ Common Receptor Mediates Erythropoietin-Conferred Protection on OxLDL-Induced Lipid Accumulation and Inflammation in Macrophages
Erythropoietin (EPO), the key factor for erythropoiesis, also protects macrophage foam cells from lipid accumulation, yet the definitive mechanisms are not fully understood. β common receptor (βCR) plays a crucial role in the nonhematopoietic effects of EPO. In the current study, we investigated the role of βCR in EPO-mediated protection in macrophages against oxidized low-density lipoprotein- ...
