Figure 8 Effects of fatty acids on metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. Through serum targeted metabolomics studies, we measured four specific biomarkers. The preliminary conclusion was that the transformation of lean control individuals to lean metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) may affect the Oleic acid, linoleic-arachidonic acid and palmitic acid pathways. Linoleic acid is converted to arachidonic acid by Δ-6 desaturase, as shown in the figure.
