Hepatic HIF2α modulates extra-hepatic disease-associated phenotypes during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

This study investigates the role of hepatic HIF2α in MASLD, finding that its deletion leads to extra-hepatic complications like cardiac dysfunction and lean mass loss without protecting against liver disease progression.

Chronic inorganic nitrate supplementation does not improve metabolic health and worsens disease progression in mice with diet-induced obesity.

This study shows that chronic nitrate supplementation in mice with diet-induced obesity worsens metabolic health and accelerates disease progression, including liver cancer.
