When the data for both doses of fenofibrate with ACCi treatment and the stages of NASH were combined, apoB FRR and ASR were significantly lower for combined treatment than for ACCi treatment alone in the cross-sectional analysis (Fig. 3A, B), although the change in LDL-apoB kinetics in the low or high fibrate doses + ACCi treatments were not significantly different from ACCi treatment alone in either subgroup classified by cirrhosis state alone (supplemental Fig. S5A, B). This evidence concerns the gene APOB and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
