The transcription factor Forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) is a well-established regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, yet its role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) pathogenesis remains debated. This study investigates hepatocyte-specific FoxO1 mechanisms driving hepatic...
