Their results indicated that alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), which is a major acute-phase plasma protein with significant immunomodulatory functions, exists in two primary isoforms, ORM1 and ORM2, and has a strong positive association with NAFLD and liver fibrosis, with an inverted U-shaped relationship to CAP scores. Here, ATP5MK is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
