ELOVL6 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: Since Elovl6 expression is positively correlated with the severity of hepatosteatosis and liver injury in NASH, deletion of Elovl6 reduces palmitate-induced activation of the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, suggesting that Elovl6 modulates the progression of NASH5.
