Changes of the configurational states of the rat's hepatocyte mitochondria after 18 hours fasting and then one, two, three, four hours after feeding were investigated with stereological methods. Among others morphometric parameters coefficient of share (E) was introduced to express external or internal mitochondrial compartment volume per unit of surface area of the internal membrane. For parameters variation analysis Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Application of stereological methods reveals subtle changes lying beyond the power of visual observation and make possible the recognition of ultrastructural configuration of mitochondria in hepatocyte in the course of fasting and digestion connected with the various metabolic state.

Background: The incidence of metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis B is increasing annually; however, the interaction between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and lipid metabolism remains unclear. This study attempted to clarify whether fatty acid metabolism regulation could alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction caused by HBV infection.

Methods: Public gene set of human livers was analyzed, and a proteomic analysis on mouse livers was conducted to explore metabolic disorders and affected organelles associated with HBV infection.

The growing awareness and need to protect public health, including food safety, require a thorough study of the mechanism of action of veterinary drugs in consumers to reduce their negative impact on humans. Inappropriate use of veterinary drugs in animal husbandry, such as tiamulin, leads to the appearance of residues in edible animal tissues. The use of natural substances of plant origin, extracted from hemp ( L.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic lipid accumulation, and echinacoside (ECH) has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple conditions, it has demonstrated hepatoprotective effects. Ferroptosis represents a novel mechanism of cell demise, differing from apoptosis and autophagy. Emerging research indicates that ferroptosis in hepatocytes plays a role in the development of alcoholic liver disease.

Urolithin A Protects Hepatocytes from Palmitic Acid-Induced ER Stress by Regulating Calcium Homeostasis in the MAM.

Chemical Genomics Leader Research Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology, College of Life Science and Biotechnology, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea.

An ellagitannin-derived metabolite, Urolithin A (UA), has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for metabolic disorders due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mitochondrial function-improving properties, but its efficacy in protecting against ER stress remains underexplored. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a cellular organelle involved in protein folding, lipid synthesis, and calcium regulation. Perturbations in these functions can lead to ER stress, which contributes to the development and progression of metabolic disorders such as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease seriously threatening human health, with limited treatment means, however. Sesamin, a common lignan in sesame seed oil, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Our previous studies have shown an ameliorative effect of sesamin on lipid accumulation in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HePG2) induced by oleic acid, with its protective effects unclear in the case of 9-trans-C18:1 elaidic acid (9-trans-C18,1).
