| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Orchiectomized mice fed high-fat diet showed decreased serum testosterone level, increased visceral fat, increased insulin resistance, increased serum inflammatory marker level, and hepatic fibrogenesis. These perturbations in the model mice were normalized to the levels of control mice by testosterone supplementation. Our results suggested that NASH is initiated by addition of chronic inflammation to fatty liver caused by testosterone deficiency and insulin resistance.
