C1QTNF3 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: C1q TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP3, also known as Collagenous repeat-containing sequence 26 kDa protein, cartducin, or cartonectin) is of particular interest as elevated CTRP3 has been demonstrated to prevent diet-induced fatty liver (NAFLD) and individuals with NAFLD have reduced circulating level of CTRP3 [19].
