Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with insulin
resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia. NAFLD encompasses a wide range of states
from the simple accumulation of triglycerides in the hepatocytes to serious
states accompanied by inflammation and fibrosis in the liver. De novo lipogenesis
has been shown to be a significant factor in the development of hepatic steatosis
in insulin-resistant states. Sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c
(SREBP-1c) is the main transcription factor that mediates the activation of
lipogenesis, and SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP) is required for the
activation of SREBPs. Here, recent animal studies that suggest SCAP as a
therapeutic target for hepatic steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia are discussed.
