Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: The Associations Between Inflammatory Markers, TLR4, and Cytokines IL-17A/F, and their Connections to the Degree of Steatosis and the Risk of Fibrosis

: The pathogenesis of MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) is driven by environmental, genetic, metabolic, immune, and inflammatory factors. IL-17 and TLR4 determine hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and finally fibrosis.
