Sex-specific differences in hepatic steatosis in obese spontaneously hypertensive (SHROB) rats

ConclusionBased on these data, we conclude that the severity of hepatic steatosis in male and female SHROB rats was mainly driven by increased de novo lipogenesis. Moreover, male and female SHROB rats also elicited differential severity of hepatic steatosis that was coupled with sex-specific differences in fatty acid transport and esterification.
