Additionally, a positive correlation between hepatic resistin protein expression and NAS, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), BMI, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), TG, and glycated haemoglobin was verified in obese NAFLD patients [97]. The gene discussed is RETN; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
