Enhanced catabolism of branched-chain amino acids uncouples anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions in liver macrophages
2025-12-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is marked by inflammation mediated by resident liver macrophages (RLMs). Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs; leucine, isoleucine, valine) are elevated in early MASLD, yet their role in RLM biology is unclear. Aim We investigated whether BCAA exposure and impaired catabolism affect LPS-induced RLMs activation. Met...
