Abstract excerpt
The liver expresses tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which may participate in the defense against bacterial components, in cell regulation as part of the purinome or in bile secretion, among other roles. We aimed to study the role of TNAP in the development of hepatosteatosis. TNAP+/- haplodeficient and wild type (WT) mice were fed a control diet (containing 10% fat w/w) or the same diet deficient...
