Finally, in the “selenium micronutrient network” pathway, 11 genes (SELENOM, DIO1, GPX2, GPX3, ALOX15B, FLAP, SAA1, SAA2, CCL2, HBB, and SERPINE1) had higher expression in NASH and seven genes (TXNRD3, SOD1, SAA4, ABCA1, MTR, CBS, and PLG) had lower expression in NASH compared to HOC. This evidence concerns the gene GPX2 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
