| abstract |
The present invention derives from the unexpected finding that ADRA2a antagonists decrease fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Thus, by antagonising ADRA2a, many of the unwanted consequences or symptoms of NAFLD, may be reduced, such as impaired cognitive activity and fibrosis progression. The present invention utilises these findings to identify and provide ADRA2a antagonists that may be used in the treatment of fibrosis in NAFLD. |
