Ketogenic essential amino acids modulate lipid synthetic pathways and prevent hepatic steatosis in mice.

Although dietary ketogenic essential amino acid (KAA) content modifies accumulation of hepatic lipids, the molecular interactions between KAAs and lipid metabolism are yet to be fully elucidated.We designed a diet with a high ratio (E/N) of essential amino acids (EAAs) to non-EAAs by partially repla...
