Beta 2 adrenergic receptor agonists as a treatment for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) [PDF]
MASH is a leading cause of liver transplantation. Here, we investigated formoterol, a long-acting β2 adrenergic receptor agonist (LABA), in MASH. Mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) for sixteen weeks developed liver steatosis and were treated with ...
