Honokiol attenuates lipotoxicity in hepatocytes via activating SIRT3-AMPK mediated lipophagy
Abstract Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by ectopic accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that lipophagy regulates lipid mobilization and energy homeostasis in the liver. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial NAD+-dependent...
