IGF1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: ↓ IGF-1 mRNA in patients with NASH when compared to patients with simple steatosis (approximative reduction of 66%). Among the 15 NASH patients, IGF-1 expression was characterized by an inverse relation to the grade of inflammation, but no statistical significance was found.GHR mRNA levels were comparable in patients with NASH and simple steatosis
