Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is highly relevant to hepatic malignancy, an ominous sign of NASH (Tsuchida et al., 2018; Anstee et al., 2019; Malehmir et al., 2019), while arginase-2 is related to persistent inflammation and skewed immune responsiveness (Delyea et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
