Albino mice with the point mutation at the tyrosinase locus show high cholesterol diet-induced NASH susceptibility
Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) constitutes a metabolic disorder with high worldwide prevalence and increasing incidence. The inflammatory progressive state, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), leads to liver fibrosis and carcinogenesis. Here, we evaluated whether tyrosinase mut...

Tyrosinase point-mutated B6 (Cg)-Tyr c-2J /J mice (B6 albino) and C57BL/6J black mice (B6 black) were fed with high cholesterol diet (HCD) for 10 weeks. Normal diet-fed mice served as controls.
