The present study was performed to examine a role of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) in the process of liver steatosis. Immunohistochemical findings indicated that ADRP expression is increased in the hepatocytes in patients with fatty liver when compared with normal liver. ADRP expression is localized in the surface of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes. Increased expression of ADRP mRNA and protein was similarly observed in fatty liver in ob/ob mice and the liver steatosis induced by high fat diet in mice. The up-regulation of ADRP mRNA and protein in the liver by high fat diet was identified in the surface of lipid droplets in a time-dependent manner. Recent studies demonstrated that up-regulation of PPARgamma in the hepatocytes is deeply involved in liver steatosis. To clarify whether ADRP expression is increased by PPARgamma activation in hepatocytes, we examined the effect of a PPARgamma ligand, troglitazone, on ADRP mRNA expression in HepG2 cells. ADRP mRNA expression was increased by troglitazone in dose- and time-dependent manners. All these results suggest that ADRP is up-regulated in liver steatosis in human and mice, and that high fat diet increases expression of ADRP through PPARgamma activation, followed by induction of liver steatosis.

Background & Aims: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) have been identified as potential predictive factors for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, they do not include high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), which is closely related to lipid metabolism. Furthermore, there is a lack of comprehensive and longitudinal data to determine the cut-off points for different degrees of hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis in MASLD.

The limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability of curcumin restrict its application. In this study, we synthesized chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates to prepare an emulsion delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. The CPI-CP emulsion achieved a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 86.
