Intraperitoneal injection of α-GalCer effectively activated NKT cells, increased the frequency of iNKT cells (mainly iNKT2 cells, a subset of iNKT cells that express high levels of promyelocytic leukaemia zinc finger (PLZF) and GATA3), induced IL-4 secretion, and eventually improved liver steatosis [48]. This evidence concerns the gene ZBTB16 and Hepatic steatosis.
