The UPR is an adaptive signaling pathway triggered in response to perturbations in ER homeostasis, conditions referred to as ERS.[13],[19] Recent animal and human studies have revealed on the one hand that obesity and fatty liver are associated with ERS-associated factors[21],[35],[36] and that these diseases can be attenuated by chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid,
Schisandra chinensis extract, or gastric bypass surgery.[21],[37],[38] On the other hand, lipotoxic stress leads to ERS activation in the liver,[4] so the causal relationship between ERS and lipogenesis remains to be clarified.
