Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does second-hand smoke stimulate lipid accumulation in the liver by modulating AMPK and SREBP-1?
Answer: These novel findings are important because they point to another risk factor of smoking, i.e., that of contributing to NAFLD. In addition, our results showing that both AMPK and SREBP are critically involved in these effects of smoke point to the potential use of these molecules as targets for treatment of cigarette smoke-induced metabolic diseases.
Output (English): yes
