-Cryptoxanthin suppresses inflammatory gene expression in diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice

To evaluate the effect of -cryptoxanthin on diet-induced NASH, we fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (CL diet) with or without 0.003% -cryptoxanthin to C56BL/6J mice for 12 weeks. After feeding, -cryptoxanthin attenuated fat accumulation, increases in Kupffer and activated stellate cells, and fibrosis in CL diet-induced NASH in the mice.
