Aggarwal, Savera

Summary

There is an alarming increase in incidence of fatty liver disease worldwide. The fatty liver disease spectrum disease ranges from simple steatosis (NAFL) to steatohepatitis(NASH) which culminates in cirrhosis and cancer. Altered metabolism is a hallmark feature associated with fatty liver disease and palmitic acid is the most abundant saturated fatty acid, therefore, the aim of this study was to compare metabolic profiles altered in hepatocytes treated with palmitic acid and also the differentially expressed plasma metabolites in spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver...Metabolomic analysis of lipid treated hepatocyte cell lines showed differential changes in phenylalanine and tyrosine pathways, fatty acid metabolism and bile acids...We found significant alterations in the NAD+ related metabolites in both palmitic acid treated and also fatty liver disease with cirrhosis. The study underscores the importance of amino acid and NAD+supplementation as promising strategies in fatty liver disorder.
