Low‐density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDLR‐KO) mice fed a modified choline‐deficient and amino acid‐defined (mCDAA) diet show non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)‐like pathophysiology. In order to pharmacologically benchmark this model, effects of pioglitazone (a thiazolidinedione) and candesartan cilexetil (an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker) on steatosis and liver fibrosis were examined.
