FASN inhibition targets multiple drivers of NASH by reducing steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis in preclinical models

Abstract Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is an attractive therapeutic target in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) because it drives de novo lipogenesis and mediates pro-inflammatory and fibrogenic signaling. We therefore tested pharmacological inhibition of FASN in human cell culture and in three diet...
