| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently,non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has been increasingly, however, the pathogenesis remains largely unknown and there is almost no effective treatment. This is contribute to absent of suitable model. We tried to create of novel animal model of NASH for development of basic study of NASH. We established a novel mouse model which reflect hepatic histopathology of human NASH by administration of Liver X receptor activator and carbon tetrachloride. We think that this model is more superior than existing fasting model which used widely for basic study of NASH because this model has insulin resistance.
