Liver Regeneration01:24

Liver Regeneration

4.1K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...

Gross Anatomy of the Liver

2.7K
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...

Liver Physiology

3.8K
The liver, an essential organ in the human body, performs over 200 vital functions that can be broadly categorized into metabolic, hematological, endocrine regulation, and bile production.
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of  70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can...

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

2.1K
Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Drug Dosing and Hepatic Blood Flow01:26

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Drug Dosing and Hepatic Blood Flow

382
Chronic liver disease significantly impacts drug metabolism due to alterations in hepatic blood flow and enzyme accessibility. This disruption affects the body's pharmacokinetics—the movement and processing of drugs within the system. Key enzymes crucial for metabolizing medications become less accessible, changing how drugs are processed and utilized. Furthermore, liver disease influences the synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulins, which play critical roles in drug...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

271
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Resumen
Este resumen es generado por máquina.

El trastorno circadiano altera la ingesta de alimentos al afectar el nervio vagal hepático en ratones. Esta vía nerviosa es clave para entender cómo los ciclos de sueño-vigilia influyen en los comportamientos alimenticios.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • La neurociencia
  • Cronología
  • Fisiología

Sus antecedentes:

  • Los ritmos circadianos regulan los procesos fisiológicos, incluido el metabolismo y el comportamiento alimentario.
  • Las alteraciones del ritmo circadiano están relacionadas con trastornos metabólicos y alteraciones en la ingesta de alimentos.
  • Las vías neuronales que conectan el hígado y el cerebro en la regulación del apetito no se comprenden completamente.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Investigar el papel del nervio vagal hepático en la mediación de los efectos del trastorno circadiano en la ingesta de alimentos.
  • Determinar si la modulación de la actividad del nervio vago hepático puede influir en el comportamiento alimentario en condiciones de desalineación circadiana.

Principales métodos:

  • Se utilizaron modelos de ratón con interrupción circadiana controlada (por ejemplo, ciclos de luz-oscuridad alterados).
  • Utilizó grabaciones electrofisiológicas y manipulaciones farmacológicas del nervio vagal hepático.
  • Ingesta de alimentos cuantificada, peso corporal y parámetros metabólicos.

Principales resultados:

  • La interrupción circadiana condujo a alteraciones significativas en los patrones de ingesta de alimentos en los ratones.
  • La actividad en el nervio vagal hepático fue modulada por la interrupción circadiana.
  • Dirigirse al nervio vagal hepático afectó la ingesta de alimentos, lo que sugiere un papel causal.

Conclusiones:

  • El nervio vagal hepático es un vínculo neuronal crítico entre la ritmicidad circadiana y la regulación de la ingesta de alimentos.
  • Comprender esta vía ofrece objetivos potenciales para el manejo de los trastornos alimentarios asociados con la interrupción circadiana.
