Gene‐expression changes associated with NAFLD/NASH development were observed, including increased expression of genes associated with insulin resistance (e.g., IGF1, IGFB139), glucose metabolism (e.g., G6PD,40 PDK441), and lipid metabolism (e.g., FABP5,42 LPL43). This evidence concerns the gene G6PD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
