Based on this model, we revealed the potential markers of MASH prone to HCC characteristics of malignant MASH through RNA\u2010Seq and bioinformatics analysis, and further confirmed by pathological biopsy, biochemical tests, inflammatory cytokines measurement, Oil O red staining, and immunohistochemical examination.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      For MASH, the initial stage of HCC, we observed evidence of hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance in the HRAS mouse model based on blood morphology, biochemical parameters, and insulin tolerance test. Furthermore, the pathological features of MASH were confirmed by the presence of hepatocellular fatty vacuolar changes, lipid droplet accumulation, and inflammation.
