TNF and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Based on that data, we wished to further investigate the fatty acid metabolism in the liver of MO women with NAFLD by evaluating the expression of some key genes involved in de novo synthesis of fatty acids (LXRα, SREBP1c, ACC1, FAS), fatty acid uptake and transport (PPARγ, CD36, FABP4), fatty acid oxidation (PPARα) and, finally, inflammation related genes (IL6, TNFα, CRP, PPARδ).
