NASH model mice treated with MSP were found to have significantly higher levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (Ccl2), intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (Icam1), interleukin 1beta (IL-1β), interferon gamma (IFNγ), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), macrophage markers F4/80, and cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) (Li et al. 2016). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
