NFKB1 and Hepatic fibrosis: The analysis indicated that there were 2,173 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the TA and model groups, and these DEGs could be functionally annotated in the liver fibrosis-related pathways, including the metabolic pathways (especially the glycerophospholipid metabolism), PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, ECM formation, and NF-κB signaling pathway.
