The authors previously developed a mouse model of parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) that is dependent on parenteral phytosterols and intestinal injury with DSS. Here they refine the model and show that PNAC pathology is dependent on recruitment of hepatic macrophages and IL-1 signaling.
