From: LECT2 as a hepatokine links liver steatosis to inflammation via activating tissue macrophages in NASH

Figure 1

Hepatic LECT2 gene expression level correlates with liver steatosis and gene expression levels of inflammation-related genes in the liver. (A) Correlations between LECT2 gene expression in the liver and BMI, age, T-Chol, FPG, HbA1c, ALT, AST in humans (n = 32). (B) Correlations between LECT2 gene expression in the liver and IL-1b, CCL2, LBP, NOS2, CCR2, TLR4 in humans (n = 32). (C) Correlations between LECT2 gene expression in the liver and Pathological inflammation and steatosis in humans (n = 32). *P < 0.05.
