The Claim
In a mouse model fed a high-fat diet, prolonged dietary intervention lasting up to 20 weeks is associated with progressive hepatic steatosis, increased liver triglyceride and cholesterol content, and increased body weight, effectively modeling the temporal development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If mice eat a greasy, high-fat diet for a long time—like 20 weeks—they start building up fat in their livers, gain weight, and show signs of a condition similar to fatty liver disease in people.
See the scientific wording
In a high-fat diet mouse model, prolonged feeding (up to 20 weeks) is associated with progressive hepatic steatosis, increased liver triglyceride and cholesterol content, and body weight gain, modeling the development of NAFLD over time.
What the research says
1 studyThe study feeds mice a high-fat diet for up to 20 weeks and sees fat build up in their livers, which supports the idea that long-term high-fat eating causes fatty liver disease in mice.
