Experimental drug reverses high cholesterol, obesity-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in animal study

Scientists have discovered a novel molecular pathway for an enzyme inhibitor in humans that plays a direct role in the development of high cholesterol and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which they then were able to reverse in mice with an investigational drug. The study results will be presented Monday at ENDO 2019, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in New Orleans, La., by researchers from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Ill.
