Metabolomics Technology Applied to Non-Invasive Nash Biomarkers Research
News May 17, 2010
Metabolon, Inc. announces a study published in the Metabolism Journal released in the paper on April 28, 2010, by Satish C. Kalhan.
Metabolon studied plasma profiles from subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Using Metabolon’s patented global metabolomic profiling platform, the study, authored by Satish C. Kalhan and his collaborators at the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and with scientists from Metabolon, identified a panel of potential noninvasive biomarkers in NAFLD and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). The results represent both a significant step in understanding the disease and for the development of therapeutic interventions.

Scientists from the UNC School of Medicine discovered that the anti-inflammatory protein NLRP12 normally helps protect mice against obesity and insulin resistance when they are fed a high-fat diet. The researchers also reported that the NLRP12 gene is underactive in people who are obese, making it a potential therapeutic target for treating obesity and diabetes.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease produces no noticeable symptoms, but one out of every five people with it will go on to develop a more serious conditions such as nonalcoholic steatohepatosis and cirrhosis. Three new studies investigate how mitochondrial energy production is altered by the progress of fatty liver disease.
