The expression of MAP3K4 in liver tissue from NAFLD patients. A Representative images of H&E staining, Oil red O staining, and immunohistochemistry assay for MAP3K4. Scale bars = 50 μm. B Quantitative results of MAP3K4 expression (n = 7, 2–3 slides/patient). C mRNA relative levels of MAP3K4 from RNA-seq data and the GSE159676 datasets. D–G Correlation analysis between the expression levels of MAP3K4 and NAS score, serum UA, TC levels and BMI. NAS, NAFLD activity score; UA, uric acid; TC, total cholesterol; BMI, body mass index
