The liver provides a barrier between the portal and systemic circulations. In its reticulo-endothelial functions it acts as an effective barrier against infection. It also acts as a metabolic buffer between the highly variable contents of the gut and portal blood and the tightly controlled systemic circulation. By absorbing, storing and releasing glucose, fat and amino acids, the liver plays a vital role in homeostasis. It also stores and releases vitamins A, D and B12. It metabolizes or deactivates most of the biologically active compounds absorbed from the gut, such as drugs and bacterial toxins. It performs many of the same functions in systemic blood entering from the hepatic artery, processing a total of 29% of cardiac output.
OMICS vision and focus is the long-term preservation of peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles and research data. Open Access is not only used for journal articles but is also being implemented to theses, scholarly monographs, and book chapters. Promotion of Open Access is very crucial to encourage innovation, socio-economic development, and flow of knowledge around the world. OMICS International has over 700+ peer-reviewed journals of highest scientific excellence and with a stringent peer reviewing process.
