Abstract

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are gossamer-thin cells that line the hepatic sinusoid and they are perforated with pores called fenestrations clustered in sieve plates. There is growing evidence that fenestrations may work as a permselective ultrafiltration installation which is important for the hepatic to uptake substrates, particularly metabolism of lipoproteins. Abnormal fenestratel structure had been considered as a vital factor to liver lipid metabolism disorders. This review mainly focused on the relationship between ultrastructure of the fenestration, the fenestrated mechanism, the regulation factor of fenestration, and hepatic steatosis.
