ITGAM and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: Area fractions of CD45 + and CD11b+ cells were surprisingly lower in NASH-fed hamsters than CTRL hamsters (p < 0.01, Fig. 5b, c), but in NASH-STZ hamsters the CD45+ and CD11b+ area fractions were increased compared to NASH hamsters (p < 0.001).
