L. lactis attenuated hepatic cirrhosis by preventing steatosis and fibrosis, decreasing serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, downregulating hepatic IL-1β, and enhancing anti-inflammatory responses through increased expression of Foxp3 and IL-10 (Delgado-Venegas et al., 2021). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is steatosis.
