Objective: Obesity-induced accumulation of ectopic fat in the liver is thought to contribute to the development of insulin resistance, and increased activity of hepatic CB1R has been shown to promote both processes. However, lipid accumulation in…
Objectives: Hepatic miR-34a expression is elevated in diet-induced or genetically obese mice, and patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), yet the role of hepatocyte miR-34a in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)…
