We also evaluated the mRNA expression of chemokines that activate inflamed tissues and play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of MASLD.24 The C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (Cxcl10) level was significantly decreased in the IPA and IAA groups compared to that in the WD group (Figure 3b). The gene discussed is CXCL10; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
