Inflammation, steatosis, ballooning, and fibrosis are the features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the associated critical bona fide genes such as MCP-1, TNF, TNFR1, TGF1, Col1, SMA, Timp1, and Hp were significantly enriched in the livers of mice fed an HFD
Despite these few differences, both the explanted heart and the mouse model had fibrosis, hypertrophy, remodeling of Ca 2+ cycling (decrease in SERCa2 levels accompanied by a compensatory increase in NCX levels), metabolic remodeling (inhibition of Akt activity coupled with upregulation of AMPK activity), and oxidative stress (increased MDA levels and low GSH/GSSG ratio)
