Lijing Ke is the Principal Investigator at the School of Food Science and Biotechnology at Zhejiang Gongshang University. His major research interest is the active components and micro/nanostructures in traditional Chinese food and medicine, as well as the underlying biological mechanism of their functions. With growing evidence, the self-assembled colloidal particles of food components, formed during processing, are of great importance to their functions.

The Role of Nutrition and Dietary Patterns in Fatty Liver Disease

Liver is located in the upper right portion of the mid-region, which is protected by the rib cage. It has two primary flaps made up of minuscule lobules. The liver cells have two distinct sources of blood supply. The hepatic course carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart, while the entrance vein transports supplements from the digestive system and the spleen. Liver function is to produces bile, a liquid that contains, among other things, water, synthetic compounds, and bile acids. Bile is stored in the gallbladder, and when food enters the duodenum (the first segment of the small digestive tract), bile is released to aid in food absorption.
