Microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is involved in the secretion of TG-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), a process which leads to the generation of hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerosis. We investigated the possible role of Ca(2+) on MTP activity in hepatocytes.

Inhibition of immunocyte infiltration and activation has been suggested to effectively ameliorate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) and its human ortholog receptor, leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B (LILRB2), are immune-inhibitory receptors. However, their role in NASH pathogenesis is
