Sex-based differences in natural killer T cell-mediated protection against diet-induced steatohepatitis in Balb/c mice

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is prevalent in Western countries, evolving into metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with a sexual dimorphism. Fertile women exhibit lower MASLD risk than men,
