LPCN 1144 Resolves NAFLD in Hypogonadal Males

Somaya Albhaisi, Kilyoung Kim, Jonathan Baker, Nachiappan Chidambaram, Mahesh V. Patel, Michael Charlton, Arun J. Sanyal – 2 August 2020 – Hypogonadism affects hepatic lipid metabolism and is expected to promote nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aims of this study were to determine (1) the prevalence of NAFLD in hypogonadal males and (2) the impact of correction of hypogonadism by LPCN 1144 (Lipocine, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT), an oral testosterone prodrug, on NAFLD in this population.

The Power of Single‐Cell Analysis for the Study of Liver Pathobiology

Angela L. Chu, Joel D. Schilling, Kevin R. King, Ariel E. Feldstein – 1 August 2020 – Single cell transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful lens through which to study the molecular diversity of complex tissues such as the liver, during health and disease, both in animal models and in humans. The earliest gene expression methods measured bulk tissue RNA, but the results were often confusing because they derived from the combined transcriptomes of many different cell types in unknown proportions.

A Systematic Review of Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Hannah P. Kim, Sarah R. Lieber, Michael E. Rogers, Andrew M. Moon, Marci Loiselle, Jennifer Walker, David N. Assis, Ricky Safer, Rachel Gomel, Donna M. Evon – 1 August 2020 – Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are associated with decreased health‐related quality of life and debilitating symptoms. These experiences can be defined as patient‐reported outcome (PRO) concepts and measured using PRO instruments. We identified all PRO concepts and instruments used in the PBC and PSC literature.

Biopsy Validated Study of Biomarkers for Liver Fibrosis and Transplant Prediction in Inherited Cholestasis

Henry Shiau, Danielle Guffey, Kathleen M. Loomes, Christa Seidman, Emily Ragozzino, Jean P. Molleston, Deborah Schady, Daniel H. Leung – 1 August 2020 – Alagille syndrome (ALGS) and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) are inherited cholestatic disorders with risk of developing end‐stage liver disease requiring liver transplantation (LT). We investigated aspartate aminotransferase‐to‐platelet ratio index (APRI), Fibrosis‐4 score (FIB‐4), and conjugated bilirubin as biomarkers to assess fibrosis severity and risk for LT among children with ALGS and PFIC.
