HSD17B13 and metabolic syndrome: Second, the inflammatory factors AST, ALT, ALP, MIP-1α, MIP-3α, and MCP-1 were negatively correlated with the transcription of genes related to immunity regulation (MstI, Ifi27, and Aspg), cancer suppression (Ftcd, Hpn, Pck1, Mat1a, Tdo2, and Clk1), and lipid metabolism (Eci1, Creb3l3, Fabp1, and Hsd17b13) and with proteins related to immunosuppression (DNAJA1 and TIAL1), energy-related factors (LRPPRC, ABCB4, MT-ND5, ABCC6, and ARMC1), and proteins associated with dyslipidemia (LDLRAP1, ECHDC3, PTGES2, and PI4KA).
