Toll-like receptor 4 knockout mice are protected against endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by a high-fat diet.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is implicated in the development of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) observed after a high-fat diet (HFD) in liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
