CCL2 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: Despite fatty liver features, both MAL and MBG mice lacked histological evidence of significant steatohepatitis associated with NASH and inflammatory profiling revealed similar cytokine levels (gamma interferon [IFN-γ], interleukin 6 [IL-6], IL-12, monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 [MCP-1], and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α]) across CON, MAL, and MBG livers (Fig. S2C).
