SRC and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Among 232 candidate genes derived from the union of SRC and ANOVA results, 48 were reported to be involved in hepatic steatosis, NAFLD, or hepatic lipid metabolism in humans and rats, indicating the reliability of our results (Table 1 and Supplementary Table S6), 15 of which were part of the 83 genes consistently identified by both Spearman’s rank correlation analysis and ANOVA.
