These includeAPOC3,38 apolipoprotein D (APOD),39 apolipoprotein A1,40 apolipoprotein M (APOM),41 retinol bindingprotein-4,42 HPT, A1AT, AGP1, VTNC, CFAH,IgA, IgG, IgM, hemopexin, TRFE,28 complementC8 α chain,43 and A2MG.44 Importantly, since a few of them (e.g., HPT,27,45 A1AT,46 A2MG,47,48 and VTNC) have been reported previously as being differentiallyabundant at the protein level in NASH, our study opens important newinsights into NASH biomarkers, as discussed below. The gene discussed is CD40LG; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
