The pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is poorly defined. Feeding mice a diet deficient in methionine and choline (MCD diet) induces experimental NASH. Osteopontin (OPN) is a Th1 cytokine that plays an important role in several fibroinflammatory diseases. We examined the role of OPN

## Abstract Leptin (Lep), a 16โkDa polypeptide hormone, exerts its action through the leptin receptor (LepRb), a member of the class I cytokine receptor family. Both leptin and LepRb probably have been implicated in pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was designed t
