Core Tip |
Reduced lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity promotes an increased multi-organ lysosomal cholesterol esters storage, as observed in two recessive autosomal genetic diseases, Wolman disease and Cholesterol ester storage disease. A less severe and non-genetic reduction of LAL activity has been reported in children and adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients with NAFLD show a significant, progressive reduction of LAL activity from simple steatosis, to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and cryptogenic cirrhosis. In the future, modulation of LAL activity may become a possible new therapeutic target for patients with more advanced forms of NAFLD and represent a possible new marker of disease severity. |
