Table 6. Metabolites associated with NAFLD phenotypes.

This provides a summary of key metabolites associated with the four phenotypes and their corresponding references. Metabolites are taken from the mouse metabolic model of Sigurdsson and colleagues [14]. Production of each of these metabolites represents a metabolic task (MT).

Metabolites	Phenotype	Reference
Diacylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, cholesteryl esters, triacylglycerol, hexadecanoate, cholesterol, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine	Lipid droplets	[42, 43, 45]
Ceramide	Inflammation	[30, 45, 46]
Alanine, glutamine, ceramide	Apoptosis	[47]
Superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide	Oxidative stress	[44]
