Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted by researchers at Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center in Japan aimed to create a stable and low-mortality model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a chronic liver disease. The researchers used abdominal ultrasonography to assess the stage of NASH and diagnose liver tumors in mice. They found that a choline-deficient, high-fat diet combined with intermittent dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) resulted in a stable model of NASH. The use of ultrasonography reduced the need for necropsy and contributed to animal welfare. This study provides valuable insights into the etiology and progression of NASH.
