A System for In Vivo Imaging of Hepatic Free Fatty Acid Uptake

Elena Goun, Grigory Karateev

Alterations in hepatic free fatty acid (FFA) uptake and metabolism contribute to the development of prevalent liver disorders such as hepatosteatosis. However, detecting dynamic changes in FFA uptake by the liver in live model organisms has proven difficul ...
