NAFLD

Natural product therapy for Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): β-Cryptoxanthin (βCX) 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, 1/November/2017, 11.33 pm

Significance of the study: Given that: (1) 15-30% of Western populations suffer from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), while 6-25% of Asian populations suffer from it; (2) 75 to […]
