Mice lacking methionine adenosyltransferase 1a (Mat1a) have reduced hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine levels and develop oxidative stress, steatohepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).? However, injury and HCC also occur if hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine level is excessive chronically. Thus a normal hepatic S-Adenosyl-L-methionine level is necessary to maintain liver health and prevent injury and HCC^[3].
