IL6 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: In this study, ferroptosis (Figure 2F), ROS metabolic process (Figures 3A,B), and NAFLD (containing IL-6, BID, PRKAA2) signaling were identified as the activated biological processes or pathways involved in CAVD, and particularly, NAFLD was validated by WebGestalt, DAVID, and Metascape, which was consistent with the previous findings (6, 21).
