Conclusions: Our results suggest that OLP possesses a preventive effect against NASH progression, presumably due to the elevated serum adiponectin levels and its anti-oxidative properties. Because this preventive effect was not dose-dependent, further studies are needed to investigate the optimal dose of OLP for obtaining the maximum preventive effects against NASH, and to elucidate the detailed pharmacological mechanism(s) of OLP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
