IL6 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: The IL-6 level in untreated C57BL/6 mice was at least 1.3 times higher than in mice of the different dietary groups, which is consistent with previous reports, in which elevated hepatic IL-6 levels corresponded with healthy livers, in contrast to increased systemic IL-6, which is associated with NAFLD/AFLD [48, 56–58].
