Gayban, A.J.B. (author), Souza, L.A.C. (author), Cooper, S.G. (author), Regalado, E. (author), Kleemann, R. (author), Earley, Y.F. (author)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of liver damage directly related to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) has recently been demonstrated to play a role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we test the hypothesis that the PRR regulates the development of diet-induced hepatic...article 2023
