Hepatic lipid droplet-associated proteome changes distinguish dietary-induced fatty liver from glucose tolerance in male mice
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00013.2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFatty liver is characterized by the expansion of lipid droplets (LDs) and is associated with the development of many metabolic diseases. We assessed the morphology of hepatic LDs and performed quantitative proteomics in lean, glucose-tolerant mice compared to high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice that displayed hepatic steatosis and glucose intolerance as well as high-starch diet (HStD) fed mice who exhibited similar levels of hepatic steatosis but remained glucose tolerant. Both HFD and HStD-fed mice had more and larger LDs t...

Association between sleep duration and a new onset of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Conclusions In women, a short sleep duration was independently associated with the onset of NAFLD, thus suggesting that an adequate sleep duration can be a promising preventive factor for the onset of NAFLD in women.PMID:38658342 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3119-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)

Investigation of Metabolic and Inflammatory Disorder in the Aging FGF21 Knockout Mouse
In this study, we engineered aging FGF21 knockout mice of 36 –40 weeks and observed that FGF21 deficiency manifests a spontaneous inflammatory response of lung and abnormal accumulation of lipids in liver. On one hand, inflamed state in lungs and increased circulating inflammatory cytokines were found in FGF21 knockout mice of 36–40 weeks. To evaluate t he ability of FGF21 to suppress inflammation, a subsequent study found that FGF21 knockout aggravated LPS-induced pulmonary exudation and inflammatory infiltration in mice, while exogenous administration of FGF21 reversed these malignant phenotypes by enhancing microv...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Evolution of the final terminology
Eur J Intern Med. 2024 Apr 22:S0953-6205(24)00173-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2024.04.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe medical term nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was coined in 1986 for a condition that has since become the most prevalent liver disorder worldwide. In the last 3 years, the global professional community launched 2 consecutive efforts to purge NAFLD from the medical dictionary and recommended new terms based on disease pathophysiology rather than distinction from similar conditions featuring liver steatosis. A consensus by renowned clinical scholars primarily residing in the Asian-Pacific region in...

Loss of GPR75 protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and body fat accumulation
This study investigated the role of adiposity-associated orphan G protein-coupled receptor 75 (GPR75) in liver lipid accumulation. We profiled Gpr75 expression and report that it is most abundant in the brain. Next, we generated the first single-cell-level analysis of Gpr75 and identified a subpopulation co-expressed with key appetite-regulating hypothalamic neurons. CRISPR-Cas9-deleted Gpr75 mice fed a palatable western diet high in fat adjusted caloric intake to remain in energy balance, thereby preventing NAFLD. Consistent with mouse results, analysis of whole-exome sequencing data from 428,719 individuals (UK Biobank) ...
