For example, the liver dysfunction causes impairment of proteins and amino acids metabolism, which interferes with the hormones production, such as corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and glucocorticoids which are components of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis or stress axis and play an important role in central regulation of energy balance and food intake (RICHARD et al., 2002).
