Reversal of high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis by n-3 LCPUFA: role of PPAR-α and SREBP-1c

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of triacylglycerides in the liver in absence of significant alcohol consumption. Under these conditions, it has been observed an impaired bioavailability of hepatic n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs). The aim of this study was to test the reversion of the prosteatotic and proinflammatory effects of high-fat diet (HFD) in the mouse liver by changing to...
