Schematic diagram illustrating the metabolic crosstalk between liver, adipose tissue, gut, arteries and systemic inflammation. The development of NASH is dependent on underlying mechanisms related to the metabolic syndrome, such as disturbed intestinal permeability, gut microbiota, increased systemic inflammation, vascular abnormalities, and adipose tissue dysfunction as a result of increased macrophage infiltration and insulin resistance. In turn, NASH by itself can exacerbate inflammation in these metabolic tissues, retaining a positive feedback mechanism.

3. Fig. 2
Schematic illustration showing the involvement of oxLDL in the macrophage inflammatory response. Lipid-laden foamy macrophages express higher levels of the scavenger receptors CD36 and SR-A and produce more pro-inflammatory cytokines. Through interplay with surrounding cells, these cytokines further amplify the inflammatory response. Blocking macrophage uptake of oxLDL leads to macrophages smaller in size, less CD36 and SR-A expression and reduced inflammation. Modified from [135], reprinted by permission from Elsevier.
