<title>Abstract</title> <p>Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major cause of chronic liver disorders, has become a serious public health issue. Although the Smad4 signaling pathway has been implicated in the progression of NAFLD, the specific role of Smad4 in hepatocytes in NAFLD pathogenesis remains unclear.<bold> </bold>Hepatocyte-specific knockout Smad4 mice (Alb<sup>Smad4-/-</sup>) were first constru...
