Case study: Study published in Clinical and Translational Science on the effects of adiponectin-derived peptide ALY688 in MASH/liver fibrosis of STAM model.

We introduce a case study of pharmacology study of adiponectin-derived peptide ALY688 using our MASH model (STAM™ model).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The adiponectin‐derived peptide ALY688 protects against the development of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis – Huang – 2024 – Clinical and Translational Science – Wiley Online Library

 

In this paper, daily subcutaneous administration of ALY688, an adiponectin-derived peptide, was confirmed to treat MASH and prevent the progression of fibrosis.

 

STAM™ mice are a model in which visceral fat is enlarged and abnormal secretion of adipocytokines occurs. In particular, adiponectin secretion is reduced compared to normal mice, resulting in hypoadiponectinemia.

This paper is the first reported case of a MASH treatment approach targeting adipocytokines using STAM™ mice, and proves that STAM™ mice are a model in which the efficacy of adipocytokines against MASH/fibrosis can be evaluated.
