We aimed to study the role of TNAP in the development of hepatosteatosis. TNAP+/− haplodeficient and wild type (WT) mice were fed a control diet (containing 10% fat w/w) or the same diet deficient in methionine and choline (MCD diet). The MCD diet induced substantial weight loss together with hepatic steatosis and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) plasma levels, but no differences in IL-6, TNF, insulin or resistin. There were no substantial differences between TNAP+/− and WT mice fed the MCD diet. In turn, TNAP+/− mice receiving the control diet presented hepatic steatosis with alterations in metabolic parameters very similar to those induced by the MCD diet. Nevertheless, no weight loss, increased ALT plasma levels or hypoglycemia were observed. These mice also presented increased levels of liver TNF and systemic resistin and glucagon compared to WT mice. The phenotype of TNAP+/− mice fed a standard diet was normal. In conclusion, TNAP haplodeficiency induces steatosis comparable to that produced by a MCD diet when fed a control diet.}, organization = {Ministry of Economy and Competitivity of Spain}, organization = {European Commission BFU2014-57736-P AGL2014-58883-R SAF2017-88457-R AGL2017-85270-R}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia CTS235 CTS164}, organization = {Ministry of Education}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III European Commission}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Methionine and choline diet}, keywords = {Metabolic syndrome}, keywords = {Biliary acids}, keywords = {Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase}, title = {Deficiency in Tissue Non-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase Leads to Steatohepatitis in Mice Fed a High Fat Diet Similar to That Produced by a Methionine and Choline Deficient Diet}, doi = {10.3390/ijms22010051}, author = {Gámez Belmonte, María de los Reyes and Tena Garitaonaindia, Mireia and Hernández Chirlaque, Cristina and Córdova, Samir and Ceacero-Heras, Diego and Sánchez De Medina López-Huertas, Fermín and Martínez Augustín, María Olga}, }
