In patients with NAFLD, miR-155-5p correlated with ALT (r = 0.68, p<0.01) and AST (r = 0.64, p<0.01) and miR-21-5p and -22-3p levels correlated with plasma adiponectin (r = -0.71 and r = -0.75, respectively, p<0.05) and fibroblast growth factor-21 (r = -0.73 and r = -0.89, respectively, p<0.01). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
