In addition, GPAT3 mRNA expression was significantly increased in liver of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by GEO database analysis (Database were obtained from GEO database: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/, Data set number is GSE63067) (Fig. 1F). This evidence concerns the gene GPAT3 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
