The expression of FGF21/HGFR and NAFLD markers was analyzed by mRNA analysis with RT-PCR, which showed a decreased expression in acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) with increased expression of hepatocellular growth factor (HGF), hepatocellular nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A), and albumin (ALB). This evidence concerns the gene SCAP and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
