#Liver #metabolism is divided between pericentral & periportal zones, but what are the broader consequences of this zonation? This study shows that proper liver zonation, regulated by R-spondin3, contributes to systemic glucose metabolism & body composition 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3PR0E2a
Schematic of a newly identified inter-organ communication system, showing that hepatic metabolic zonation mediated by Rspo3 plays an important role in maintaining metabolism in remote organs, such as adipose tissues and skeletal muscles, as well as locally in the liver through the inter-organ coordination consisting of neuronal and non-neuronal communication. However, in the setting of obesity, the impaired Rspo3 function in the liver leads to the disturbance of this Rspo3-mediated physiological inter-organ mechanism, paradoxically resulting in progression of pathophysiological features such as glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and deterioration of organ quality. BAT, brown adipose tissue; Rspo3, R-spondin3; WAT, white adipose tissue.
