Next, those with MO were subclassified according to their hepatic histology as NL (n = 20), SS (n = 21) and NASH (n = 19) which were comparable in terms of weight, BMI, SBP, DBP, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-C, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). This evidence concerns the gene INS and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
