Consistent with previous studies (Wu et al. 2019; McCall et al. 2023), our findings indicated aberrant expression of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐1β, IL‐6, and TNF‐α, as well as decreased expression of the anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL‐10 in NAFLD mice. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
