Assessment of circulating biomarkers is needed to understand the underlying pathology, disease severity, and treatment options. The secreted hepatokine Tsukushi (TSK) is involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. TSK is increased in adults with MASLD but has yet to be reported in adolescents. We hypothesized that plasma TSK is increased in adolescents with MASLD compared to peers without MASLD classified as obese (Ob) or normal weight (NW). We tested adolescents 10\u201320\u2009years old with obesity and biopsy\u2010confirmed MASLD (17F, 46\u2009M), and controls without MASLD with either Ob (16F, 16\u2009M) or NW (15F, 20\u2009M). Fasting plasma TSK concentration was 27% higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) in the MASLD group (median [interquartile range]: 188 [120, 418] ng\/mL) than the NW group (148 [80, 241]), while the Ob group was intermediate (165 [84, 466]) and not different from the other two groups. TSK did not differ across histological grades of steatosis or fibrosis. Although TSK was increased in the MASLD group compared to NW controls, the lack of difference in TSK between the Ob and MASLD groups limits its value as a potential biomarker for MASLD.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14814\/phy2.70988","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T04:17:15Z","timestamp":1782101835000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A comparison of plasma Tsukushi in adolescents with and without metabolic dysfunction\u2010associated steatotic liver disease"],"prefix":"10.14814","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sydni A.","family":"McNeese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sadie A.","family":"Maltz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youngsil","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"April M.","family":"Teague","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sirish K.","family":"Palle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob E.","family":"Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harold Hamm Diabetes Center University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"},{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Physiology University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6704-9587","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin R.","family":"Short","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"},{"name":"Harold Hamm Diabetes Center University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"},{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Physiology University of Oklahoma Health Campus  Oklahoma City Oklahoma USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cgh.2017.02.030"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0140908"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcmm.70817"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijpo.13194"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jpn3.12423"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molmed.2024.05.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep4.1766"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo12030237"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cyto.2020.155114"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc12-0607"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/liv.14006"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_1","article-title":"Hepatokines and non\u2010alcoholic fatty liver disease: Linking liver pathophysiology to metabolism","volume":"9","author":"Kim T.
