The combined results of the regression models revealed that, in women, a higher degree of hepatic steatosis was significantly associated with an elevated HOMA-IR index, increased percentage of total adipose tissue, greater area of visceral fat in abdominal cross-section (cm2), and higher VAT/SAT ratio, as well as higher concentrations of IL-6 and IL-1β and lower concentrations of MMP-2. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is Hepatic steatosis.
