Liver: The Master Chemist

August 9, 2023

The liver makes and secretes numerous small chemicals and many of these signal cells in other organs to change their behaviors.

The liver is a master chemist that sends copious signals to help control our appetite and breaks down fats to be stored and used as energy and to combat starvation. Next time you’re hangry, think of your liver kicking into overdrive.

On This Episode We Discuss:

Producing countless small chemical metabolites
Controlling iron homeostasis
The liver and the gut microbiome
Combatting starvation and triggering appetite
Managing glucose levels

In 2020, Stan formed n-Lorem to use this powerful technology to develop experimental personalized ASO medicines for nano-rare patients (1 to 30 patients worldwide) for free, for life.
