MASLD, particularly when it progresses to MASH, leads to the intrahepatic production and systemic release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and C-reactive protein (CRP) [59,82]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
