Working model of the antidiabetic effect of DLPC & LRH-1.
Activation of the nuclear receptor LRH-1 by DLPC sets up a positive regulatory loop in which decreased ADD1 / SREBP-1c expression and subsequent decreased steatosis results in increased hepatic insulin sensitivity. This leads to a decrease in serum insulin levels and a further decrease in SERBP-1c mRNA and fatty liver that continues the positive cycle. This is essentially the opposite of the lipogenic vicious cycle to insulin resistance proposed by McGarry. (Modified from Lee et al., Nature. 2011. 474:506-10.; Musille et al., Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2012. 19:532-7)

Working model for the mechanism of LRH-1 requirement in ER stress resolution. A novel ER stress resolution pathway initiated by the nuclear receptor LRH-1 is independent of known unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways. This novel LRH-1-PLK3-ATF2 pathwy represents a core pathway that is required for hepatic ER stress resolution. (Modified from Mamrosh et al., Elife. 2014;3:e01694.)

Working model for autophagy regulation by nutrient-sensing NR.
Transcriptionally activating or suppressive nutrient-sensing NR, PPARα or FXR, respectively, coordinates autophagy in liver. PPARα or FXR competes each other for binding to response elements found in the regulatory regions of autophagy-related genes. Transcriptional coordination of autophagy-related genes contributes to long-term regulation of autophagy. (Modified from Lee et al., Nature. 2014. 516:122-5.)
