Mineralocorticoid receptor modulation by dietary sodium influences NAFLD development in mice
CONCLUSION: We identified in two experimental models of NAFLD that High-Na+ diet content is associated to lower serum aldosterone levels and hepatic MR downregulation, associated to decreased steatosis and reduced de novo hepatic lipogenesis, proinflammatory and profibrotic markers. Decreased activation of hepatic MR seems to generate beneficial downstream inhibition of lipogenesis in experimental NAFLD.PMID:33940220 | DOI:10.1016/j.aohep.2021.100357
