Tenofovir-disoproxil-fumarate modulates lipid metabolism by upregulating hepatic CD36 via PPAR-α activation. Since dyslipidemia could be associated with arteriosclerosis and hepatocarcinogenesis, these discoveries provide novel insights into anti-HBV therapies, as well as the associated extrahepatic effects of NA.
