Core Tip
Core Tip: The novel work by Yu et al on the feasibility and efficacy of duodenal mucosal ablation (DMA) with irreversible electroporation (IRE) in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) rodents is thoroughly examined in this article. The duodenum repaired effectively two weeks after DMA with IRE, according to the study in a sophisticated manner. In NAFLD small rats, the detection of liver lipid deposition, serum lipid parameters, and enteroendocrine parameters such claudin and zonula ocludens-1 levels offer new opportunities for side-effects assessment and advanced therapy approaches.
