ResumoThe prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including the more aggressive non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is continuously increasing in developed countries, associated with major complications due to cirrhosis and end-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) play a crucial role in liver physiology and disease pathogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relevance of hepatocyte-specific Jnk2 inhibition in an experimental model of chronic liver disease (CLD) -the NEMOΔhepamice.
