Effects of Lingonberry (<i>Vaccinium vitis-idaea</i> L.) Supplementation on Hepatic Gene Expression in High-Fat Diet Fed Mice

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is growing worldwide in association with Western-style diet and increasing obesity. Lingonberry (<i>Vaccinium vitis-idaea</i> L.) is rich in polyphenols and has been shown to attenuate adverse metabolic changes in obese liver. Th...
