Signal transductions and nonalcoholic fatty liver: a mini-review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease, and the incidence increases year by year. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is correlated with insulin resistant (IR), and oxidative stress which induces varied inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, etc). Different signal transductions...

Description
Summary:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease, and the incidence increases year by year. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is correlated with insulin resistant (IR), and oxidative stress which induces varied inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, etc). Different signal transductions such as MAPK, NF-κB, AMPK, JAK2/STAT3, PPAR, PI3K/Akt, TLR were activated by the pathogenic factors to regulate correlative reactions. Thus, in-depth study of the signal transductions will probably provide new suitable solutions for the prevention and therapy of NAFLD.
