Furthermore, the expression of the fibrosis-related genes Col1a1, Tgfb1, and Timp1 was lower in the HY7207 group than in the ND group These data imply that HY7207 ameliorates hepatic lipid accumulation, steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in mice with NAFLD. Here, TIMP1 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
