Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) into severe histological forms (steatohepatitis - NASH) is paralleled by the occurrence of complex molecular processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark feature of advanced disease. Mitochondrially encoded cytochrome B (cytochrome b, MT-CYB), a member of the oxidative phosphorylation system, is a key component of the...
