Research Abstract

It has been estimated that non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), early stage of NASH, become main factors to cause liver cancer and hepatic cirrhosis in future. Therefore, development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques is urgently needed. However these diseases are hardly known, due to having been recently recognized. In this study, we searched for NAFLD-related proteins and resulted in successfully identifying 8 kinds of candidate proteins more highly expressed in liver of NAFALD model mice.
