These data indicate that inflammation might play an instrumental role during the development of NASH in this mouse model. Inhibition of NASH by fenofibrate may be due, at least in part, to its inhibitory effect on pro-inflammatory genes.
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.
