Hepatic Transcriptome Profiles of Mice with Diet-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Treated with Astaxanthin and Vitamin E

Int J Mol Sci. 2017 Mar 8;18(3):593. doi: 10.3390/ijms18030593.

Abstract

Astaxanthin alleviates hepatic lipid accumulation and peroxidation, inflammation, and fibrosis in mice with high-cholesterol, high-cholate, and high-fat (CL) diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) [...].

Keywords: astaxanthin; comprehensive gene expression analysis; eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (EIF2); nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARA); vitamin E.
