    Abstract

    Depletion of Hepatic Stellate Cells Inhibits Hepatic Steatosis in Mice

    Coculture of hepatocytes with hepatic stellate cells enhanced intracellular lipid accumulation, together with the upregulation of PPARγ and CD36 protein expressions.

    Abstract

    Role of Sortilin 1 (SORT1) on Fatty Acid–Mediated Cholesterol Metabolism in Primary Calf Hepatocytes

    Researchers used liver biopsies from healthy cows and cows diagnosed with clinical ketosis to assess alterations in cholesterol synthesis, transport, and excretion.

    Gap Junction Intercellular Communication Mediates Cadmium-Induced Apoptosis in Hepatocytes via the Fas/FasL Pathway

    Scientists established a cadmium (Cd) poisoning model in vitro by co-culturing Cd-exposed and unexposed hepatocytes and found that 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, a GJIC inhibitor, could effectively reduce the apoptosis rate of healthy cells co-cultured with apoptotic cells treated with Cd.
