NAFLD

Molecular therapy for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Trimetazidine (TMZ)[brand names: 3 Kat, Adexor, Aiyiling, Angimax, Angimet, Anginox, Angintriz, Angiozil, Angirel etc., ], used in the treatment of angina pectoris, promotes degradation of HMGCR, decreases the levels of triglycerides, free cholesterol, and total cholesterol and prevents the progression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD via down regulation of its target gene, 11/December/2017, 10.58 pm

Significance of the study: Given that: (1) 15-30% of Western populations suffer from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), while only 6-25% of Asian populations suffer from it; […]
