Fatty Liver Disease
The accumulation of excess fat in the liver. Understand the latest research into how vitamin A metabolites mitigate hepatic fat buildup and oxidative stress.
Hepatic Steatosis
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease begins with simple hepatic steatosis—the retention of abnormal amounts of lipids within the liver's hepatocytes, impairing normal organ functionality.
Steatohepatitis
If unchecked, fatty liver progresses to steatohepatitis, marked by liver cell inflammation, scarring (cirrhosis), and cellular death driven primarily by severe lipotoxicity and oxidative stress.
Retinoid Homeostasis
The liver stores the massive majority of the body's retinoids. Dysregulation of hepatic vitamin A pathways is intimately linked to liver damage, making 9-cis metabolic avenues a focal point for molecular repair.
