Cannabinoids provoke alcoholic steatosis through a conspiracy of neighbors.

Abstract:

:Cannabinoid signaling by CB1 receptors drives fibrogenesis and fat accumulation in liver. A report in this issue of Cell Metabolism (Jeong et al., 2008) now links hepatic stellate cells, a resident liver fibrogenic cell type, to the generation of steatosis through production of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) after ethanol feeding, leading to paracrine stimulation of hepatocyte CB1 receptors.

  • Mitochondrial medicine: a metabolic perspective on the pathology of oxidative phosphorylation disorders.

    abstract::The final steps in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in mitochondria are executed by a series of multisubunit complexes and electron carriers, which together constitute the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. OXPHOS is under dual genetic control, with communication between the nuclear and mitochond...
