Altered branched-chain α-keto acid metabolism is a feature of NAFLD in individuals with severe obesity

2022-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Hepatic de novo lipogenesis is influenced by the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) kinase (BCKDK). We aimed to determine whether circulating levels of the immediate substrates of BCKDH, the branched-chain α-ketoacids (BCKAs) and hepatic BCKDK expression are associated with the presence and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Eighty metabolites (3 BCKA, 14 amino ac...
