Abstract:Background & AimsNon-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with obesity and increased expression of hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in humans. Although we previously showed that the expression of PPARγ in hepatocytes contributes to the development NASH in lean mice, the relevance of hepatocyte PPARγ in the development of NASH associated with obesity is still poorly understood.MethodsHepatocyte PPARγ was knocked out (PpargΔHep) after the development of high-fat diet-ind… Show more
