Article Synopsis
- Recent studies show that hepatokines, like ITIH3, play a role in regulating liver health and the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to more severe forms like NASH.
- Research found that levels of ITIH3 decrease as NAFLD worsens, indicating its potential as a biomarker for disease severity.
- Overexpression of ITIH3 in animal models led to reduced liver fat, while its knockdown increased fat accumulation, suggesting that ITIH3 could offer new treatment options for liver diseases.
