Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest primary liver cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Obesity is rapidly becoming pandemic and associated with increased carcinogenesis. In this review, we describe the obesity-related factors that influence the development of HCC. We provide evidence of strong links between neural regulation, endocrine and HCC in obesity. We discuss recent advances in our understanding of how adipose tissue alters hepatic metabolism and immune response in HCC development through inter-organ communication. Taken together, our review aims to provides a concise and up-to date summary about the connection between obesity and HCC, with emphasis on the opportunities for effective strategies in preventing the development of HCC in obese individuals.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
