Providing a high fat/calorie diet plus high fructose/glucose in drinking water is shown to be an optimal approach to induce nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice. The animal model shows remarkable necroptosis, steatosis, fibrosis and insulin resistance as well as a disordered profile of lipid metabolism and adipokines. This model should prove useful for pathophysiologic investigation and pharmacologic development.
