In addition, anti-inflammatory properties have been demonstrated in various organs including the liver. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, and in a subset of cases hepatic steatosis progresses to steatohepatitis (NASH), which may further advance with significant fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of xanthohumol in a dietary murine model of obesity, hypergl…
