Intestinal bacterial overgrowth and increased permeability are features of non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Bacterial endotoxin has been shown to promote NASH progression. Application of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is a colitis model in mice characterized by damage of the intestinal barrier. This study was designed to investigate if application of DSS aggravates experimental NASH.
