Although our outcomes support a protective role for AZD5060 in the progression of impaired insulin sensitivity and liver pathology, it remains to be determined whether this agent or others in its drug class (CXCR2 antagonists alone) can be effective when treatment is initiated at a later stage of pathology to reverse the progression of hepatic lesions reminiscent of NAFLD/NASH. Here, INS is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
