Transient hepatic overexpression of Insulin-like growth factor 2 induces free cholesterol and lipid droplet formation

Although insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) has been reported to be overexpressed in steatosis and steatohepatitis, a causal role of IGF2 in steatosis development remains elusive.
