The drug T863 inhibits DGAT1, indicating that DGAT1 is the primary enzyme responsible for TAG synthesis from external fatty acids in cat organoids. The drug AICAR may act as a lipid-lowering compound via decreasing PLIN2 mRNA. Liver organoids can be used as an in vitro tool for drug testing in a species-specific system and provide the basis for further clinical testing of drugs to treat steatosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jvim.15670","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,12]],"date-time":"2019-12-12T11:41:45Z","timestamp":1576150905000},"page":"132-138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Identification of potential drugs for treatment of hepatic lipidosis in cats using an in vitro feline liver organoid system"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Maya W.","family":"Haaker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hedwig S.","family":"Kruitwagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arie B.","family":"Vaandrager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Houweling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louis C.","family":"Penning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martijn R.","family":"Molenaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monique E.","family":"van Wolferen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loes A.","family":"Oosterhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3981-8542","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bart","family":"Spee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, , Utrecht,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7311-3821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
