Synopsis of recent research by authors named "De-Cheng Meng"
- De-Cheng Meng's recent research focuses on the therapeutic potential of diosgenin in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), particularly induced by high-fat diets in rat models.
- The study investigates the molecular mechanisms through which diosgenin exerts its effects, targeting the mTOR/SREBP-1c/HSP60/MCAD/SCAD signaling pathway associated with lipid metabolism in the liver.
- Results indicate that diosgenin administration significantly alters the expression of key proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism, offering insights into potential dietary or supplemental strategies for managing NAFLD.
