There was no detectable difference in liver IL-6Ra expression from IL-6Ra KD and Cre+/- mice on either diet (Figure 5C), likewise transcript abundance of Socs3, liver levels of which have been suggested to play an important role in steatosis [[41], [42], [43]], was unaltered by either diet or genotype (Figure 5D). Here, SOCS3 is linked to steatosis.
