Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden used a new type of three-dimensional imaging technology to study non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and found that a part of the autonomic nervous system in the liver was severely degraded
The results, published in the journal Science Advances on July 21, show that there is an association between neurodegeneration and the severity of liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a common liver disease
In this study, researchers tried to use iDISCO volume imaging and light sheet microscopy to explore the nervous system at various stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Csaba Adori, the person in charge of the study, said: “Now we know that nerves in the liver have a variety of subtle regulatory effects
According to this study, changes in liver innervation have already occurred in the early stages of fatty liver
In experimental steatohepatitis, three-dimensional imaging showed that the portal vein was severely contracted, which was spatially related to the extension of the remaining nerves around the portal vein, revealing the underlying intrahepatic neuronal mechanism of portal hypertension
The research team hopes that the results of this study will open up new methods for fatty liver treatment, targeting the liver sympathetic nervous system to treat steatohepatitis and portal hypertension
