After pathway analyses, we found indoximod had effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through regulated TNFa, AP-1, AKT, PI3K, etc. Furthermore, we established the NAFLD cell model with LO2 cells induced using PA; ELISA showed that the levels of TG, ALT, and AST were significantly improved by indoximod. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
