Data on Lipocalin 2 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling in a methionine- and choline-deficient model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Abstract The data presented in this brief report support the research article “ Altered mitochondrial and peroxisomal integrity in lipocalin-2-deficient mice with hepatic steatosis ” [1, doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2017.04.006 ]. We tested whether the absence of Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) could dysregulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K-PKB) pathway and hepatic homeostasis in Non-Alcoholic-Steatohepatitis (NASH). The article highlights the role of LCN2 in hepatic homeostasis.
