Abstract

G A A b st ra ct s but significantly decreased mean liver weight and the mean liver-to-body weight ratio compared to the vehicle group. Furthermore, treatment with SOLI improved glucose metabolism as evidenced by reduction of whole blood glucose levels. These changes were accompanied with a significant improvement in the histological score of NASH (NAFLD Activity Score [NAS]). There was no difference in triglycerides between the SOLI treated and vehicle treated mice. MCP-1 and MMP9 mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased in the liver. CONCLUSION: SOLI has demonstrated potential anti-NASH and anti-hyperglycemic effects in the present study. Because NAS is a clinical endpoint used to assess the treatment of NASH, these observed changes in the treatment group suggest potential for SOLI in the treatment of NASH.
