Abstract

Highlights: [•] We examined the effect of DLE on HFD-induced NAFLD. [•] DLE inhibited hepatic lipid accumulation in HFD-fed mice. [•] DLE reduced insulin resistance, and lipid mediators in HFD-fed mice via the AMPK. [•] DLE may have potential use as a therapy for treatment of obesity-related NAFLD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
