Animal Models of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Steatohepatitis (NASH)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatopathy syndrome affecting both adults and children, is characterized by a range of liver conditions affecting people who consume little to no alcohol, including simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fatty liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis. NAFLD can progress from simple fatty liver through nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to liver fibrosis, and even lead to end-stage liver diseases, such as, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver failure.
