Epigenetic Regulation of Insulin Resistance in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
22 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Insulin resistance (IR) and mitochondrial dysfunction play a central role in the pathophysiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that genetic factors and epigenetic modifications occurring in the liver contribute to the IR phenotype. We specifically examined whether fatty liver and IR are modified by hepatic DNA methylation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor...
