three structures are commonly referred to as the portal triad. The hepatic arteriole is bringing highly oxygenated blood to the liver. It is also carrying chylomicrons containing the lipids absorbed during digestion of dietary fats. The portal venule is bringing poorly oxygenated blood to the hepatic lobule along

with the sugars, volatile fatty acids, and amino acids derived from the digestion and absorption of dietary carbohydrates and proteins. The hepatic arteriole and the portal venule each con-tribute blood to capillary beds that run between the portal triad and the central vein. Each hepatic lobule receives blood from each of the portal triads at its boundaries. And each portal triad may provide blood to several adjacent hepatic lobules. Pathological infections and toxins are often brought to the liver with the blood flow, so it is common to see pathological changes in areas serviced by a portal triad.

The capillary beds carrying the portal venule and hepatic arteriole blood are lined by a highly fenestrated and leaky endo-thelium known as a liver sinusoid. Specialized macrophages known as Kuppfer cells roll along the sinusoids, patrolling the area in the event a bacterium may have also been brought to the liver with the portal blood. The sinusoids are lined on either side by hepatocytes. Between the sinusoid endothelial layer and the hepatocytes is a small space known as the space of Disse. Ions and nutrients leaving the sinusoids must cross the space of Disse before they can reach the hepatocytes. Within the space of Disse lies another unique cell type known as a stellate cell. These cells are normally inactive, but should any damage occur to the hepatocytes as a result of toxins or infection the stellate cells will produce fibrous scar tissue to wall off the area to prevent spread of the disease. When this fibrous scarring occurs over a wide area it is referred to as sclerosis of the liver.

The hepatocytes remove some portion of the nutrients from the mixed portal and hepatic arteriole blood in the sinusoids, depending on their need. They can return these nutrients to the sinusoid in the form of new proteins or glucose. Triglycerides produced in the liver can be packaged with apolipoproteins to form VLDL for export. The sinusoidal endothelium has large fenestrae (windows) to allow the large proteins and lipoprotein particles made in the hepatocytes to move into the blood. The hepatocytes also remove many toxins or waste materials from the blood for processing and eventual excretion into the bile. The sinusoid blood eventually reaches the central vein where it will converge on other veins to form the hepatic vein, which eventually joins the caudal vena cava leading to the heart.

Bile secretionThe cell membranes of adjacent hepatocytes develop a small space between them known as a canaliculus. Each hepatocyte excretes bile into this space which eventually carries that bile to a bile canal behind each row of hepatocytes. The bile canal joins the bile ductule at the portal triad area.

Hepatocytes perform many detoxifying actions to help rid the body of wastes, such as steroid hormones and bilirubin and toxins that may have been ingested. Many drugs are also removed from the blood by hepatocytes and excreted in the bile. Toxins or wastes generally undergo a two‐phase process before they are excreted into the bile. In phase 1, the compound undergoes an oxidation reaction. Phase 1 generally adds one or more hydroxyl groups to various points in the molecule in order

Células Estrelladas (Ito) contains two anti-parallel pairs of !-strands and a

"-helix stretch (Fig. 8).

Generally, TGF-! acts as potent growth inhibitor

for many different (preferentially epithelial) cell

types, plays a key role in the control of parenchy-

mal apoptosis, and stimulates the production of

ECM components. During hepatic fibrogenesis,

TGF-! has a pivotal role in initiating, promoting,

and progression of transdifferention HSC into

MFB. Concomitant with increased activity of TGF-

! during fibrogenesis, HSC increase the production

and deposition of collagen leading to progressive

scarring and loss of organ function. Thus, overex-

pression of TGF-! in the liver induces severe liver

fibrosis [40]. Conditionally regulated expression of

TGF-! further reveals that the induction of fibroge-

nesis is directly linked to the concentration of this

causative agent [41]. Conversely, the blockade of

TGF-! synthesis or signalling using different

experimental strategies prevents ongoing liver

fibrosis in various animal models [42–45].

The different isoforms of TGF-! exert their bio-

logical effects through a distinct network of TGF-!type I (T!RI), type II (T!RII), and type III (T!RIII)

cell-surface receptors as well as several intracellu-

lar signalling mediators commonly known as Smad

proteins [46, 47]. T!RI and T!RII are structurally

similar serine/threonine kinases containing a cys-

teine-rich extracellular domain, a short hydropho-

bic transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic

region harbouring the kinase motif (Fig. 9). The

to change its structure sufficiently so that it is no longer a danger. The enzymes performing these reactions are often members of the family of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. They insert one atom of oxygen into the aliphatic position of an organic sub-strate, R–H, to form R–OH. In the second phase of detoxifica-tion, the compound is often conjugated to a glucuronide or sulfate molecule by enzymes in the hepatocyte. This makes the molecule much more water‐soluble and permits it to remain soluble in the bile as it moves through the bile ductules.

An example of a waste material excreted in the bile is bili-rubin. Bilirubin is a very water‐insoluble product of the metab-olism (breakdown) of hemoglobin. The bilirubin is carried in blood bound to albumin and is removed from sinusoidal blood by the hepatocytes. Bilirubin is yellowish in color, and is respon-sible for the yellow color of bruises and the yellow discoloration seen in the jaundice of liver failure. Hepatocytes then conjugate the bilirubin with glucuronic acid to form a more water‐soluble bilirubin diglucuronide which is excreted into the canaliculi. This gives bile its greenish color. Conjugated bilirubin can be converted by colonic bacteria to urobilinogen and to stercobilin, which is responsible for the brown color of normal feces. Some of the urobilinogen produced by bacteria in the intestine is reabsorbed into the blood and removed by the kidney. The uro-bilinogen gives urine a distinct yellow color.

The final important components of bile are bile salts. Bile salts are formed within hepatocytes by conjugating an amino acid with cholesterol. Taurine is one of the amino acids most commonly used and when bound to cholesterol it forms the bile salt taurocholic acid (Figure  43.8). Bile salts are highly polar molecules and very water‐soluble. They have a hyrophobic end, provided by cholesterol, and a hydrophilic end, provided by the amino acid. This gives them the ability to form specialized structures called micelles within the intestine that aid in fat digestion and absorption.

Secretion of bile (choleresis) is a continuous process. In many species the bile is collected in a gallbladder so that it can be released following meals. The horse and the rat do not have a gallbladder and bile flows into the duodenum of these species continuously. In most species the bile duct joins with the

pancreatic duct and this common bile/pancreatic duct delivers bile and pancreatic secretions to the upper duodenum. Bile pro-duction by hepatocytes and contraction of the gallbladder can be stimulated by the hormone CCK produced by enteroendocrine cells of the duodenum in response to the presence of fats and amino acids in the duodenum (calcium and low pH in the duo-denum also have minor stimulating effects on CCK secretion).

Bacterial infection of the bile ducts or gallbladder can result in gallstones or choleliths. Bacteria break the glucuronide bond between the glucuronic acid and compounds like bilirubin. Loss of the glucuronide molecule renders the bilirubin less soluble in water and it can form crystals and precipitate, especially if free cholesterol is also present in the bile. Choleliths can be found in all species.

Pancreas

The pancreas is both an exocrine and an endocrine gland. The endocrine function of the pancreas will be discussed in other chapters, but the endocrine cells comprise less than 10% of the mass of the pancreas. The endocrine cells tend to be found in small collections of cells known as the islets of Langerhans that are scattered throughout the parenchyma of the pancreas.

The exocrine pancreas consists of many tubuloalveolar glands (Figure 43.9). These glands have an acinus and a duct system. The acinus is surrounded by a myoepithelial cell that can contract to send the contents of the acinar alveoli into the duct system. The exocrine functions of the pancreas provide enzymes needed for digestion of starches, proteins, and triglycerides. These enzymes are produced within acinar cells of the glands. Many of these enzymes are secreted in an inactive form. They become active only when in the duodenum. This avoids self‐digestion of the pancreatic cells and ducts. Occasionally some of  these enzymes are prematurely activated, resulting in a condition known as pancreatitis. Production and secretion of the pancreatic enzymes is stimulated by the hormone CCK pro-duced in response to the presence of fats and amino acids in the duodenum.

The cells that comprise the ductule of each acinus function to increase the alkalinity of the pancreatic secretion. They secrete sodium and some potassium into the fluid secreted by the acinar cells and remove chloride from those secretions. The net effect is a rise in the pH of the fluids. Pancreatic juices will normally be slightly alkaline, with a pH of 7.8. However, under the influence of the duodenal hormone secretin, produced in response to a

Digestion and absorption of fat

Dietary fats are generally in the form of triglycerides. Their diges-tion may begin in the mouth as lingual glands produce pharyn-geal lipase that converts triglycerides to fatty acids, monoglycerides, and diglycerides. This enzyme is relatively stable in acid and is thought to play a role in digestion of milk fat by neonates that may not be producing the full complement of pancreatic enzymes and liver bile. In general, the amount of fat that is digested by pharyn-geal lipase has a negligible effect in normal fat digestion. The first step in fat digestion takes place in the stomach where the dietary fats are subjected to the churning action of stomach contractions. This causes dietary fats to form an emulsion with water – a suspension of fine droplets of fat in water. This is often aided by incorporation of dietary phospholipids into the emulsion. The emulsified fat droplets then enter the duodenum (Figure 44.12). The presence of fats in the duodenum elicits secretion of CCK by crypt enteroendocrine cells. CCK causes the pancreas to secrete

enzymes and also causes contraction of the gallbladder (not pre-sent in the horse or rat). Several critical enzymes can be found in pancreatic secretions: pancreatic lipase, secreted in an active form; colipase, secreted in an inactive pro‐colipase form; phos-pholipases, secreted in an inactive form (cleave phospholipids of cell membranes); and cholesterol esterase, secreted in the active form. Just as with proteolytic enzymes, the inactive lipid‐digest-ing enzymes are activated in the lumen of the duodenum on cleavage by the enzyme trypsin. Bile contains the bile salts that play several roles in fat digestion.

The emulsified fat droplet entering the duodenum is too hydrophobic and too large for pancreatic lipase to access the droplet and begin to break down the triglycerides. Bile salts are essentially detergents produced in the liver by combining cholesterol with an amino acid. One end of the molecule, com-posed of the cholesterol moiety, is hydrophobic which allows it to form ionic bonds with hydrophobic fatty acids. The other end is very hydrophilic due to the amino acid component. Bile salts surround the emulsified fat droplet and break it into smaller fat droplets suspended in the water in the lumen. This increases the surface area available for enzymatic degradation of the triglycerides to occur. Colipase must bind to pancreatic lipase to allow it to be fully active and this complex then begins to digest triglycerides to monoglycerides and two fatty acids at the surface of the small fat droplet created by the bile salts. Cholesterol esterase may free cholesterol from the droplet and phospholipase liberates fatty acids and monoglyceride from phospholipids. As the lipolytic action of these enzymes prog-resses, more bile salts surround the liberated fatty acids, mono-glycerides, cholesterol, and fat‐soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D, and E) that were in the diet to form small bile salt‐covered structures known as micelles.

Figure 44.12 Luminal phase of fat digestion. Churning of the stomach emulsifies dietary lipids. As these fats enter the duodenum they stimulate enteroendocrine cells (EEC) to secrete cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK stimulates the pancreas to release digestive enzymes including lipase and pro‐colipase needed for fat digestion. CCK also stimulates the gallbladder to contract causing secretion of bile salts into the lumen. Pro‐colipase is cleaved by trypsin to form active colipase, which is a cofactor needed for full activity of lipase. Lipase, colipase, and the bile salts work together on the emulsified fat to convert the triglycerides to monoglycerides and free fatty acids. The liberated fatty acids and monoglycerides, as well as cholesterol and fat‐soluble vitamins, are surrounded by bile salts to form micelles. Micelles are several hundred fold smaller than the emulsified fat droplet.

Digestion and absorption of fat

Dietary fats are generally in the form of triglycerides. Their diges-tion may begin in the mouth as lingual glands produce pharyn-geal lipase that converts triglycerides to fatty acids, monoglycerides, and diglycerides. This enzyme is relatively stable in acid and is thought to play a role in digestion of milk fat by neonates that may not be producing the full complement of pancreatic enzymes and liver bile. In general, the amount of fat that is digested by pharyn-geal lipase has a negligible effect in normal fat digestion. The first step in fat digestion takes place in the stomach where the dietary fats are subjected to the churning action of stomach contractions. This causes dietary fats to form an emulsion with water – a suspension of fine droplets of fat in water. This is often aided by incorporation of dietary phospholipids into the emulsion. The emulsified fat droplets then enter the duodenum (Figure 44.12). The presence of fats in the duodenum elicits secretion of CCK by crypt enteroendocrine cells. CCK causes the pancreas to secrete

enzymes and also causes contraction of the gallbladder (not pre-sent in the horse or rat). Several critical enzymes can be found in pancreatic secretions: pancreatic lipase, secreted in an active form; colipase, secreted in an inactive pro‐colipase form; phos-pholipases, secreted in an inactive form (cleave phospholipids of cell membranes); and cholesterol esterase, secreted in the active form. Just as with proteolytic enzymes, the inactive lipid‐digest-ing enzymes are activated in the lumen of the duodenum on cleavage by the enzyme trypsin. Bile contains the bile salts that play several roles in fat digestion.

The emulsified fat droplet entering the duodenum is too hydrophobic and too large for pancreatic lipase to access the droplet and begin to break down the triglycerides. Bile salts are essentially detergents produced in the liver by combining cholesterol with an amino acid. One end of the molecule, com-posed of the cholesterol moiety, is hydrophobic which allows it to form ionic bonds with hydrophobic fatty acids. The other end is very hydrophilic due to the amino acid component. Bile salts surround the emulsified fat droplet and break it into smaller fat droplets suspended in the water in the lumen. This increases the surface area available for enzymatic degradation of the triglycerides to occur. Colipase must bind to pancreatic lipase to allow it to be fully active and this complex then begins to digest triglycerides to monoglycerides and two fatty acids at the surface of the small fat droplet created by the bile salts. Cholesterol esterase may free cholesterol from the droplet and phospholipase liberates fatty acids and monoglyceride from phospholipids. As the lipolytic action of these enzymes prog-resses, more bile salts surround the liberated fatty acids, mono-glycerides, cholesterol, and fat‐soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D, and E) that were in the diet to form small bile salt‐covered structures known as micelles.

three structures are commonly referred to as the portal triad. The hepatic arteriole is bringing highly oxygenated blood to the liver. It is also carrying chylomicrons containing the lipids absorbed during digestion of dietary fats. The portal venule is bringing poorly oxygenated blood to the hepatic lobule along

with the sugars, volatile fatty acids, and amino acids derived from the digestion and absorption of dietary carbohydrates and proteins. The hepatic arteriole and the portal venule each con-tribute blood to capillary beds that run between the portal triad and the central vein. Each hepatic lobule receives blood from each of the portal triads at its boundaries. And each portal triad may provide blood to several adjacent hepatic lobules. Pathological infections and toxins are often brought to the liver with the blood flow, so it is common to see pathological changes in areas serviced by a portal triad.

The capillary beds carrying the portal venule and hepatic arteriole blood are lined by a highly fenestrated and leaky endo-thelium known as a liver sinusoid. Specialized macrophages known as Kuppfer cells roll along the sinusoids, patrolling the area in the event a bacterium may have also been brought to the liver with the portal blood. The sinusoids are lined on either side by hepatocytes. Between the sinusoid endothelial layer and the hepatocytes is a small space known as the space of Disse. Ions and nutrients leaving the sinusoids must cross the space of Disse before they can reach the hepatocytes. Within the space of Disse lies another unique cell type known as a stellate cell. These cells are normally inactive, but should any damage occur to the hepatocytes as a result of toxins or infection the stellate cells will produce fibrous scar tissue to wall off the area to prevent spread of the disease. When this fibrous scarring occurs over a wide area it is referred to as sclerosis of the liver.

The hepatocytes remove some portion of the nutrients from the mixed portal and hepatic arteriole blood in the sinusoids, depending on their need. They can return these nutrients to the sinusoid in the form of new proteins or glucose. Triglycerides produced in the liver can be packaged with apolipoproteins to form VLDL for export. The sinusoidal endothelium has large fenestrae (windows) to allow the large proteins and lipoprotein particles made in the hepatocytes to move into the blood. The hepatocytes also remove many toxins or waste materials from the blood for processing and eventual excretion into the bile. The sinusoid blood eventually reaches the central vein where it will converge on other veins to form the hepatic vein, which eventually joins the caudal vena cava leading to the heart.

Bile secretionThe cell membranes of adjacent hepatocytes develop a small space between them known as a canaliculus. Each hepatocyte excretes bile into this space which eventually carries that bile to a bile canal behind each row of hepatocytes. The bile canal joins the bile ductule at the portal triad area.

Hepatocytes perform many detoxifying actions to help rid the body of wastes, such as steroid hormones and bilirubin and toxins that may have been ingested. Many drugs are also removed from the blood by hepatocytes and excreted in the bile. Toxins or wastes generally undergo a two‐phase process before they are excreted into the bile. In phase 1, the compound undergoes an oxidation reaction. Phase 1 generally adds one or more hydroxyl groups to various points in the molecule in order
