In the MO group, the LXRα pathway (LXRα/ABCA1/ABCG1) negatively correlated with obesity-related variables (weight, body mass index, and hip), inflammation (C-reactive protein), and liver function (alanine-aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and fatty liver index), and positively with serum albumin. The gene discussed is ABCG1; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
