ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Stk25-/- mice are protected against methionine and choline-deficient (MCD) diet-induced NASH, as evidenced by repressed liver steatosis, oxidative damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, whereas Stk25 transgenic mice developed a more severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) phenotype, compared with corresponding wild-type littermates
  • transgenic mice overexpressing STK25, when challenged with a high-fat diet, develop reduced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity compared to wild-type siblings
