MPEP Attenuates Intrahepatic Fat Accumulation in Obese Mice
The blockade of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) was previously found to reduce fat accumulation in HEPG2 cells. Here, we evaluated the effects of mGluR5 blockade in a mouse model of steatosis. Male <i>ob/ob</i> mice fed a high-fat diet were treated with MPEP or vehicle. A...
