"Got Guts" The Micro Version: Autoimmune liver disease and hormonal responses

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology Podcast

In this episode, coauthors Anne-Sofie H. Jensen and Nicolai J. Wewer Albrechtsen discuss the recently published research titled "Patients with autoimmune liver disease have glucose disturbances that mechanistically differ from steatotic liver disease." The authors reveal that patients with autoimmune liver disease, even in the absence of overt diabetes, experience early glucose disturbances.

Jensen and Albrechtsen highlight key pathophysiological traits specific to these patients, including altered incretin responses. This distinction is crucial because it suggests that the mechanisms underlying glucose metabolism issues in autoimmune liver disease differ significantly from those seen in steatotic liver disease. The authors findings could have important implications for diagnosing and managing glucose dysregulation in patients with autoimmune liver conditions.
