ELOVL1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Similar to our previous studies in a mouse model of NAFLD [29], we demonstrated that chronic EtOH feeding increases Sct levels and Sct/SR signaling that decreases the biliary expression of miR-125b, which in turn increases the expression of the lipogenesis target gene, Elovl1 (expressed mostly in hepatocytes and at low levels by cholangiocytes) triggering hepatocyte lipid accumulation and hepatic steatosis.
