Liver proteomics identifies a disconnect between proteins associated with de novo lipogenesis and triglyceride storage.

ABSTRACT: De novo lipogenesis (DNL) has been implicated in the development and progression of liver steatosis. Hepatic DNL is strongly influenced by dietary macronutrient composition with diets high in carbohydrate increasing DNL while diets high in fat decrease DNL. The enzymes in the core DNL pathway have been well characterized; however, less is known about other liver proteins that play accessory or regulatory roles. In the current study, we associate measured rates of hepatic DNL and fat content with liver proteomic analysis in mice to identify known and unknown proteins that may have a role in DNL. Male mice were fed either a standard chow diet, a semipurified high starch or high-fat diet. Both semipurified diets resulted in increased body weight, fat mass, and liver triglyceride content compa
