Hepatol Commun. 2019 Feb 1;3(2):177-179. doi: 10.1002/hep4.1318. eCollection 2019 Feb.

Abstract

The most important argument of this study is that modulation of intestinal lipid metabolism by enhancing intestinal Ces2c expression has the potential to affect hepatic and systemic lipid metabolism, regulating the development of NAFLD and systemic insulin resistance.
