TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['Mast cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The mast cell protease chymase contributes to the formation of angiotensin II and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, both of which are intimately involved in liver fibrosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that chymase plays an important role in the development of NASH.', 'Hamsters were fed a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 8 weeks. These animals were divided into two groups and received either TY-51469 (1 mg/kg per day) or placebo. A third group was fed a normal diet as a control.', 'Total plasma bilirubin, triglycerides, and hyaluronic acid levels were significantly higher in the MCD diet-fed hamsters than in the normal diet-fed hamsters, but the levels were significantly lower in chymase inhibitor-treated MCD diet-fed hamsters than in placebo-treated MCD diet-fed hamsters. Using histological analysis, marked steatosis and fibrosis were observed in MCD diet-fed hamsters, but these changes were significantly attenuated by treatment with the chymase inhibitor. Increases in mast cells and chymase-positive cells were observed in the liver after the MCD diet, but the increases disappeared in the chymase inhibitor-treated group. The significant increase observed in chymase activity in liver tissue extract from the MCD diet-fed group was also reduced by treatment with the chymase inhibitor. Chymase inhibition significantly reduced not only angiotensin II expression but also matrix metallopeptidase 9 activity in MCD diet-fed hamsters.'] Does chymase inhibitor prevent the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in hamsters fed a methionine- and choline-deficient diet?
OUTPUT:

agent
yes
