Quantification of the immunofluorescent images for MPO+ and properdin+/MPO+ double positive cells showed both significant increases in infiltrated MPO+ neutrophils (51.90±6.79% vs. 4.15±0.70%; p<0.001) and properdin+/MPO+ double positive cells (29.04±4.89% vs. 0.66±0.24% of MPO+ cells; p<0.001) in subjects with NASH compared to healthy controls (figure 1C). The gene discussed is MPO; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
