Overexpression of fatty acid synthase attenuates bleomycin induced lung fibrosis by restoring mitochondrial dysfunction in mice

Abstract Proper lipid metabolism is crucial to maintain alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) function, and excessive AEC death plays a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mRNA expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme in the production of palmitate and other f...
