Abstract: The perinatal period is an important physiological stage of dairy cows, and it is also a period of frequent and high incidence of nutritional and metabolic diseases. Cows with severe negative energy balance will have peripheral tissue insulin resistance, which makes glucose are continuously transported to the mammary gland. However, the exacerbation of insulin resistance will lead to the disorder of the body's glucose and lipid metabolism, resulting in the excessive mobilization of adipose tissue and lipid accumulation in the liver, and in severe cases, fatty liver and other diseases. A large number of studies have shown that the crosstalk between liver and adipose tissue are closely related to the development of fatty liver. This review aims to summarize the factors and their effects in mediating liver-adipose tissue crosstalk, in order to provide scientific reference for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and improving liver health of perinatal dairy cows.

Key words: periparturient cows, fatty liver, glucose and lipid metabolism, ceramide, adiponectin
