Here, IL-17RA-/-, IL-17A-/-, IL-17F-/- and wild-type (WT) mice were fed either standard chow diet or methionine and choline deficient diet (MCDD)—a diet known to induce steatosis and hepatic inflammation through beta-oxidation dysfunction—and hepatic inflammation and NAFLD progression were subsequently quantified. This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and steatosis.
