Indole Alleviates Diet‐Induced Hepatic Steatosis and Inflammation in a Manner Involving Myeloid Cell 6‐Phosphofructo‐2‐Kinase/Fructose‐2,6‐Biphosphatase 3

Abstract

Taken together, our results demonstrate that indole is relevant to human NAFLD and capable of alleviating diet-induced NAFLD phenotypes in mice in a myeloid cell PFKFB3-dependent manner. Therefore, indole mimetic and/or macrophage-specific PFKFB3 activation may be the viable preventive and/or therapeutic approaches for inflammation-associated diseases including NAFLD.
