Choline’s role in maintaining liver function: new evidence for epigenetic mechanisms

Choline’s role in maintaining liver function: new evidence for epigenetic mechanisms Abstract Purpose of review—Humans eating diets low in choline develop fatty liver and liver damage. Rodents fed choline–methionine-deficient diets not only develop fatty liver, but also progress to develop fibrosis and hepatocarcinoma. This review focuses on the role of choline in liver function, with… Continue reading Choline’s role in maintaining liver function: new evidence for epigenetic mechanisms

The Importance and Regulation of Hepatic Glutathione

The Importance and Regulation of Hepatic Glutathione Glutathione plays a key role in the liver in detoxification reactions and in regulating the thiol-disulfide status of the cell. Glutathione synthesis is regulated mainly by the availability of precursor cysteine and the concentration of glutathione itself which feeds back to regulate its own synthesis. Degradation of hepatic… Continue reading The Importance and Regulation of Hepatic Glutathione
