This project thesis aims to explore the impact of dysregulated lipid metabolism on the advancement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from a biochemistry standpoint. By investigating the intricate molecular mechanisms involved in lipid metabolism, this study seeks to determine how imbalances contribute to the progression of NAFLD. Understanding these processes could potentially lead to the development of targeted therapeutic interventions for this prevalent liver condition.

Project Overview
The project titled “Investigating the role of dysregulated lipid metabolism in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a biochemistry perspective” aims to explore the mechanisms underlying the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with a focus on dysregulated lipid metabolism from a biochemistry standpoint.
Background
NAFLD is a common liver disorder characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver in individuals who do not consume excessive alcohol. It is a growing concern worldwide due to its association with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Dysregulated lipid metabolism, including increased fatty acid synthesis, impaired fatty acid oxidation, and altered lipid droplet dynamics, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD.
Objectives
- Investigate the key enzymes and signaling pathways involved in dysregulated lipid metabolism in NAFLD.
- Explore the impact of dysregulated lipid metabolism on hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in NAFLD progression.
- Identify potential therapeutic targets for intervention in dysregulated lipid metabolism to prevent or treat NAFLD.
Methodology
The project will utilize in vitro and in vivo experimental models to study the biochemical mechanisms underlying dysregulated lipid metabolism in NAFLD. Techniques such as lipid profiling, gene expression analysis, protein quantification, and pathway analysis will be employed to elucidate the molecular pathways involved in lipid dysregulation.
Expected Outcomes
By investigating the role of dysregulated lipid metabolism in the progression of NAFLD, this project aims to provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of the disease and identify potential therapeutic strategies for targeting dysregulated lipid metabolism. Ultimately, the findings from this research may lead to the development of novel treatment approaches for NAFLD patients.
Significance
Understanding the molecular basis of dysregulated lipid metabolism in NAFLD is crucial for developing effective interventions to prevent disease progression and improve clinical outcomes for individuals affected by this increasingly prevalent liver disorder.
