Brief description The liver plays a central role in controlling vital functions of the body. Changes in calcium level in the liver cells regulate most their functions, including fat and carbohydrate metabolism. There is ample evidence that suggests that diseases such as fatty liver and cholestasis affect the control of calcium in the liver. This research will investigate the mechanisms of calcium homeostasis in the liver and provide information for development of new approaches for treating liver disease.
