Intestinal Activation of Notch Signaling Induces Rapid Onset Hepatic Steatosis and Insulin Resistance

Here we investigate the effects of expressing an activated mutant of Notch (ICD-E) in an inducible transgenic mouse model. Hepatic expression of ICD-E in adult animals has no detectable phenotype, but simultaneous induction of ICD-E in both the liver and small intestine results in hepatic steatosis,...
