"On Amino Acids as the Main Carbon Source for Liver Fatogenesis"
covers the wonders of biochemistry, and the viscera performs its own duties, and the liver is particularly critical to lipid metabolism. Today's view of amino acids is actually an important carbon source for liver fat generation.
There are many kinds of amino acids, each with its own characteristics. In the process of liver metabolism, some amino acids are delicately transformed, which can provide the necessary carbon framework for fat generation. The process is complex, and the enzymatic reaction proceeds in an orderly manner.
And the carbon elements of amino acids go through a series of biochemical reactions, or through the reverse route of gluconeogenesis, or directly participate in the fat synthesis pathway. All changes depend on the delicate regulatory mechanism in the liver. This regulator is related to the activity of enzymes and the expression of genes to ensure that adipogenesis is maintained at an appropriate level.
If the supply of amino acids is abnormal, or the regulation of liver metabolism is unbalanced, adipogenesis will be disordered, or lipid accumulation in the liver will lead to various diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the mechanism of amino acids as the main carbon source of liver fat production, and to explore liver physiology and pathology and prevent and treat related diseases. Doctors can gain insight into the pathogenesis, implement disease prevention and treatment strategies, and provide theoretical basis and practical guidelines for health maintenance.
