Abstract

Hepatocyte- and macrophage-specific SREBP-1a knockout mice were generated for the first time. This study reveals that SREBP-1a does not contribute to hepatic lipogenesis, but in either hepatocytes or macrophages distinctly controls the onset of pathological conditions in methionine- and choline-deficient diet-induced hepatitis.
