Metabolomic characteristics of cholesterol-induced non-obese nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in mice

Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in non-obese patients remains a clinical condition with unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Using a metabolomics approach in a mouse model that recapitulates almost all the characteristic features of non-obese NAFLD, we aimed to advance mechanistic un...
