An image of a person is shown with attention drawn to fat accumulated in his liver, a feature of the liver disease non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Next to the person is a blue circle with an image of a liver with kisspeptin hormone receptors depicted on the surface of the liver and arrows pointing downward to indicate a decrease in fatty liver and NASH.

An image of a person is shown with attention drawn to fat accumulated in their liver, a feature of the liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Next to the person is a blue circle with an image of a liver inside of it with kisspeptin hormone receptors depicted on the surface of the liver and arrows pointing downward to indicate a decrease in fatty liver and NASH. 

Rutgers University scientists who investigated the role of kisspeptin in liver disease stand together in a laboratory.

Scientists found that the Kisspeptin hormone activates enzymes that stop lipid formation in the mouse liver, suggesting that it has potential as a drug target for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
