ADIPOSE TISSUE MACROPHAGE INFILTRATION AND HEPATOCYTE STRESS INCREASE GDF-15 THROUGHOUT DEVELOPMENT OF OBESITY TO MASH

Adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and hepatocyte stress increase GDF-15 throughout development of obesity to MASH

Abstract Plasma growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) levels increase with obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) but the underlying mechanism remains poorly defined.Using male mouse models of obesity and MASLD, and biopsies from carefully-characterized patients regarding obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and
