Macrovesicular steatosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a consequence of purine nucleotide cycle driven fumarate accumulation

M. C. Sinton, B. Lucendo Villarin, J. Meseguer Ripolles…·A. J. Drake

This study identifies fumarate accumulation driven by purine nucleotide cycle activity as a cause of macrovesicular steatosis in NAFLD using human pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with decreased hepatocyte mitochondrial respiration but not mitochondrial number

M. C. Sinton, J. Meseguer-Ripolles, B. Lucendo-Villarin…·A. J. Drake

This study shows that NAFLD is linked to reduced mitochondrial respiration but not mitochondrial number or fragmentation in a human stem cell model.
