Thus, inhibition of inflammation improves NAFLD by reducing intrahepatic fat content, increasing β-oxidation of fatty acids, inducing hepato-protective autophagy, overexpressing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- γ (PPAR-γ), as well as attenuating hepatocyte apoptosis and increasing insulin sensitivity. This evidence concerns the gene INS and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
