Hepatocyte specific TIMP3 expression prevents diet dependent fatty liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from non-progressive bland steatosis to hepatocarcinoma. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (Timp3) has a role in the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease associated with obesity and is silence...
