BACKGROUND & AIMS: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by steatosis associated with liver inflammation. Steatosis causes recruitment of lymphocytes into the liver and this is worsened by lipopolysaccharides (LPS). As macrophages may be involved in the lymphocyte homing, we studied the role of lipids in determining the phenotype of Kupffer cells (KCs) at the stage of steatosis. METHODS: Steatosis...
