Protective Function of Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase 5 in Aging‐ and Diet‐Induced Hepatic Steatosis and Steatohepatitis

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is currently the most common liver disease and is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality. However, its pathogenesis remains largely unclear. We previously showed that mice deficient in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase 5 (MKP5) spontaneously developed insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, which are associated with visceral obesity and adipose tissue inflammation. In this...
