CSAD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: In the current work, we discovered via the analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset that cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) decreased significantly in NAFLD patients, which was also confirmed in multiple NAFLD mouse models (HFD-fed C57BL/6J, db/db and HFHFrHC-fed C57BL/6J mice).
