Transmembrane-6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) regulates hepatic fat metabolism and is closely associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASH involves genetic predisposition and gut microbiota alteration, yet the role of host-microbes interaction in disease developme...
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) prevalence is rising with no pharmacotherapy approved. A major hurdle in NASH drug development is the poor translatability of preclinical studies to safe/effective clinical outcomes, and recent failures highlight a need to identify new targetable pathways. Dysr...
Objectives: To observe the pharmacokinetic differences of schisantherin B (STB) in the blood and liver of normal and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) mice, as well as the changes in CYP450 enzymes in MAFLD mice. Methods: A MAFLD model was established in C57 mice fed with a high-fa...
BACKGROUND: Single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) is a severe form of cardiac malformation in which there is only one functional ventricle. The Fontan operation is the current standard of care for SVCHD. Almost all patients who have undergone the Fontan operation develop liver fibrosi...
