The Effect of Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein-1 C Modification on Fatty Acids in Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD)
Abstract
Abstract : Among chronic liver diseases, alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common in theworld. The main cause of ALD is excessive alcohol consumption. The accumulation of fatty acids in
liver cells is one of the oldest and most famous alcohol-related changes that cause the development of
ALD . Although the mechanism by which excessive alcohol intake leads to fatty acid accumulation is
far-fetched and complex, one of the mechanisms by which alcohol affects fatty acids is the regulation
of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 c (SREBP-1 C) which may be key to the treatment of
ALD. In this review, we present evidence supporting the key important role of the SREBP-1 C in
influencing the synthesis and accumulation of fatty acids that are a major cause of ALD, and we
suggest that there should be future studies to evaluate the modification of the SREBP-1 C as a possible
new treatment for alcoholic liver disease.
