Adaptation of Hepatic Mitochondrial Function in Humans with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Is Lost in Steatohepatitis

Abstract: The association of hepatic mitochondrial function with insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) or steatohepatitis (NASH) remains unclear. This study applied high-resolution respirometry to directly quantify mitochondrial respiration in liver biopsies of obese insulin-resistant humans without (n = 18) or with (n = 16) histologically proven NAFL or with NASH (n = 7) compared to lean individuals (n = 12). Despite similar mitochondrial content, obese humans with or without NAFL had 4.3- to 5.0-fold… Show more

“…In perfused livers, where oxygen consumption was measured directly, these pathways consumed roughly 40% of hepatic energy production (Table 3), which is very similar to the estimate made by Landau in human liver (16). Hence, individuals with a 60% increase in GNG (2) should have a roughly 30% nic oxygen consumption was increased by 45% in obese subjects, suggesting increased respiration (39), and more recently, mitochondrial respiration was found to be increased in obese humans (40). A uniform conclusion about β-oxidation is similarly difficult to ascertain across studies.…”

“…14 This may reflect an adaptation to increased lipid availability to protect from further accumulation of hepatic lipids. 15 But why do portal FFA levels remain increased 8 weeks after stopping short-term HFD? It was previously suggested that increased adipose tissue lipolysis is an important source of FFA promoting hepatic lipid accumulation.…”

“…Hepatic triacylglycerol accumulation is accompanied by abnormal hepatic energy metabolism [46] and impaired insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose and very lowdensity lipoprotein production [47] , leading to hyperglycaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. In non-diabetic persons, the product of fasting glucose (in mmol/l) and insulin (in mU/ml), divided by 22.5 (HOMA-IR) can serve as surrogate for IR [48] , and is therefore an acceptable alternative to more expensive and time-consuming dynamic testing.…”
