LCAT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) plays a pivotal role in acyl-esterifying cholesterol intravascularly, but its function in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) or steatohepatitis (MASH) has remained uncertain both in murine models and humans for decades, which is largely attributable to the distinct differences in cholesterol metabolism between mice and humans.
