After partial hepatectomy, downregulation of GH and EGFR was observed in two different mouse models of steatosis, a genetic (ob/ob mice) and a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet model, which could be partially rescued by the administration of GH, which in turn was associated with the restoration of EGFR expression in the liver [67]. Here, EGFR is linked to steatosis.
