↓ GH levels in NASH patients compared to those in controls (NASH with FS 0–1 patients had a median GH level of 0.10 ng/mL; NASH with FS ≥ 2 patients had a median GH level of 0.14 ng/mL; the controls group had a median GH level of 0.45 ng/mL)A normal GH level essentially excluded the presence of NASH with advanced fibrosis. Here, GH1 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
