Figure 6. Proposed model of HFHC induced NAFLD in tree shrew.

Figure 6

PPARγ, which maybe induced by cholesterol or unknown lipid, activated the transcription of LPL to further catalyze and transport circulation lipids (LDL-c or others) into the liver. Concurrently, De Novo synthesis, oxidation, and export of lipids were down-regulated, eventually leading to lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis in the liver of tree shrew.
