Although recent study suggested that the role in treating NAFLD has been partially elucidated as the regulation of lipid metabolism related SREBP-1c, FAS and SCD1 [14], the mechanism for regulating TC metabolism are still unclear, we speculate that it may be related to the synthesis and secretion of cholesterol regulated by SREBP2 and HMGCR. This evidence concerns the gene SREBF2 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
