While the average values of ALT (36 U/L in NAFL and 46 U/L in NASH) and GGT (29 in NAFL and 50 in NASH) in this study were approximately twice as high as those in our cohort (ALT 16 U/L, GGT 19 U/L), the median MCP-1 levels were comparable, being 342 pg/mL in NAFL and 350 pg/mL in NASH, compared to 338 pg/mL in our obese subjects. Here, CCL2 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
