Liver Function & Structure from Chapter 13 / Lesson 7 155K What is the function of the liver? Learn the structure of the liver, where it is located in the body and the role the liver plays in the body's organ systems. Related to this QuestionWhat...
Understanding the anatomy of the liver may be complicated by the lack of anatomical consistency in its description. While external observation of the liver presents a clear depiction of lobar division, appreciation of its functional anatomy is often made difficult by its complex intra-hepatic ...
The control of GLUT function is necessary for a regulated supply of metabolites (mainly glucose) to tissues. Pathophysiological abnormalities in GLUT proteins are responsible for, or associated with, clinical problems including type 2 diabetes and cancer and a range of tissue disorders, related to ...
These results suggested that conditional RBP-J deletion in myeloid cells did not influence the gross structure and function liver in mice. Figure 1: Myeloid-specific RBP-J deletion alleviated hepatic I/R injury in vivo. (a,b) Liver morphology and function in RBP-J cKO mice. Lyz2-Cre ...
Describe the different lobar divisions of the liver including anatomic, functional, and Couinaud’s segmental divisions. List some of the various functions of the liver. Discuss the laboratory values associated with liver function. Explain the patient preparation, scanning technique, and sonographic appea...
RNAi has become a standard experimental tool and its therapeutic potential is being aggressively harnessed. Understanding the structure and function of small RNAs, such as siRNAs and miRNAs, that trigger RNAi has shed light on the RNAi machinery. In particular, it has highlighted the assembly and ...
Our integrated proteomics/targeted metabolomics study of GHR-deficient and control liver samples from a clinically relevant large animal model identified a spectrum of biological pathways that are significantly altered in the absence of GH action. Moreover, new insights into the role of GH in the se...

Dietary fiber intake, the gut microbiome, and chronic systemic inflammation in a cohort of adult men A higher intake of dietary fiber is associated with a decreased risk of chronic inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular disease and inflammatory bowel disease. This may function in part due to...
CAFs have a role in creating extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and metabolic and immune reprogramming of the tumour microenvironment with an impact on adaptive resistance to chemotherapy. The pleiotropic actions of CAFs on tumour cells are probably reflective of them being a heterogeneous and ...
