Abstract :
[en] Steatosis encompasses the accumulation of droplets of fats into hepatocytes. In this work, we performed a comparative analysis of mitochondrial protein patterns found in wild-type and steatosis-affected liver using the novel technique two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). A total of 56 proteins exhibiting significant difference in their abundances were unambiguously identified. Interestingly, major proteins that regulate generation and consumption of the acetyl-CoA pool were dramatically changed during steatosis. Many proteins involved in the response to oxidative stress were also affected.
