MiR-122 increases in expression with steatosis which leads to Fibrosis, while being detected in the patient's serum. MiR-24 increases with hapatic exposure to Fatty acids, resulting in increased Insig1 expression which may increase steatosis. Steatosis may also increase miR-34a expression which then decreases SIRT1, leading to increased fibrosis.
