Serum Tsukushi level is negatively associated with cholesterol efflux capacity in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Tsukushi (TSK), a recently identified hepatokine, has been shown to affect systemic cholesterol homeostasis and reduce HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) in murine studies. We have investigated whether TSK is associated with HDL-C and HDL function in subjects with and without MASLD. Methods...
