Then, those with MO were subclassified according to hepatic histology as normal liver (NL; n = 28), SS (n = 24), and NASH (n = 17), which were comparable in terms of weight, BMI, insulin, homeostatic model assessment method-insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), TG, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Here, INS is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
