Cholesterol metabolism and the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Emerging experimental and human evidence has linked altered hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and free cholesterol (FC) accumulation to the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatits (NASH). This review focuses on cellular mechanisms of cholesterol toxicity involved in liver injury and on alterations in cholesterol homeostasis promoting hepatic cholesterol overload in NASH. FC accumulation inju...

متن کاملPathogenesis of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Its Potential Therapeutic Strategies
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is closely associated with progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We reported that melanocortin 4 receptor–defi cient mice (MC4R-KO mice), when fed a high-fat diet, provide a novel rodent model of NASH. Recently, we have identifi ed a unique histological feature termed “hepatic crown-like structures” (hCLS) in the livers of MC4R-KO mice...
متن کاملRole of Alcohol Metabolism in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Previous studies suggested that intestinal bacteria produced more alcohol in obese mice than lean animals. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To investigate whether alcohol is involved in the pathogenesis of NASH, the expression of inflamm...
