The Adrenal Cortex and its Disorders

TL;DR: The adrenal cortex produces dozens of steroids having varying degrees of glucocorticoid, mineralocortricoid, and androgenic activity as discussed by the authors, which are essential for normal physiology.

Lysosomal acid lipase and lipid metabolism: new mechanisms, new questions, and new therapies.

TL;DR: In this article, a review highlights the novel pathophysiological role of LAL, the functional genomic discoveries of LIPA as a risk, and highlights the role of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) in pathophysiology.

The global prevalence and genetic spectrum of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency: A rare condition that mimics NAFLD.

TL;DR: It is concluded that LAL-D is a very rare condition, but it is treatable so may be included in a 'second-line' of tests for causes of fatty liver, given the therapeutic capability of sebelipase alpha.

Immunometabolic function of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease and beyond.

TL;DR: Aim of this review is to discuss the molecular mechanisms linking cellular cholesterol metabolism to specific immune functions, how cellular cholesterol accumulation sustains chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis; and the immunometabolic profile of patients with defects of genes affecting cholesterol metabolism.

Drug-induced toxicity on mitochondria and lipid metabolism: Mechanistic diversity and deleterious consequences for the liver

TL;DR: In obese and diabetic patients, some drugs may induce acute liver injury more frequently while others may worsen the pre-existent steatosis (or steatohepatitis), which is characterized not only by lipid accumulation but also by necroinflammation and fibrosis.
