Abstract

Chiglitazar significantly improved dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in mice with NAFLD.

  • Chiglitazar was administered at doses of 5 mg/kg/d or 10 mg/kg/d to mice after 8 weeks on a high-fat diet.
  • The treatment reduced hepatic steatosis, liver inflammation, and oxidative stress in the mice.
  • RNA sequencing indicated that chiglitazar affected multiple biological pathways related to fatty acid metabolism and insulin signaling.
  • The findings suggest that chiglitazar could be a potential therapeutic option for managing NAFLD.
