The mRNA expression of fructokinase (KHK), an important enzyme for fructose metabolism, and fatty acid synthase (FAS), an important enzyme for lipogenesis, are increased in NAFLD livers compared with non-steatotic liver control specimens (p<0.05). The mRNA expression of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) shows a trend for upregulation in NAFLD group but was not statistically significant (p=0.16).
