In Vitro Models for the Study of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract excerpt

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is regarded as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is an important and common cause of chronic liver disease with a potential to develop end-stage liver disease. While important advances in the pathophysiology have been achieved using genetically modified and diet-induced animal models, in-vitro models have been only recently proposed. These models include primary...
