Aim: Pancreastatin, a dysglycemic hormone that encourages inflammation and steatosis in a variety of metabolic disorder animal models. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the pancreastatin inhibitor PSTi8 on immunometabolic changes in the liver of MCD-induced NASH mice.
Main Methods: Methionine and choline-deficient (MCD) diet was used for the development of NASH.
Aims: Pancreastatin (PST), an anti-insulin peptide derived from chromogranin A. Its levels increase in cases of obesity, which contributes to adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. This study aims to investigate the immunometabolic effect of PST inhibitor (PSTi8) against PST by using in vitro and in vivo finding.
