The liver is one of the most metabolically active organs in the human body, serving as the central regulator of carbohydrate, lipid, protein and micronutrient metabolism. Beyond its well recognized roles in detoxification and bile production, the liver functions as a dynamic metabolic hub that maintains systemic homeostasis by integrating hormonal, nutritional and neural signals. Recent advances in liver physiology have significantly expanded our understanding of hepatic function, revealing complex molecular networks that govern metabolic adaptation in both health and disease. These discoveries are reshaping the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders that continue to rise worldwide.
