Abstract

Background

Uric acid is an independent risk factor in fructose-induced fatty liver, but whether it is a marker or a cause remains unknown.

Results

Hepatocytes exposed to uric acid developed mitochondrial dysfunction and increased de novo lipogenesis, and its blockade prevented fructose-induced lipogenesis.
