Mouse models of hereditary hemochromatosis do not develop early liver fibrosis in response to a high fat diet
2018-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Hepatic iron overload, a hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), triggers progressive liver disease. There is also increasing evidence for a pathogenic role of iron in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Mouse models of HH and NAFLD can be used to explore potential interactions between iron and li...
