Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does liver-specific deletion of augmenter of liver regeneration accelerate development of steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma in mice?
Answer: We developed mice with liver-specific deletion of ALR, and showed that it is required for mitochondrial function and lipid homeostasis in the liver. ALR-L-KO mice provide a useful model for investigating the pathogenesis of steatohepatitis and its complications.
Output (English): yes
