Dynamic Alterations of BMP9 in NAFLD: A Novel Hepatokine Marker of Metabolic Dysfunction and Disease Severity
BMP9 exhibits both basal deficiency and functional impairment in NAFLD and is closely associated with multiple metabolic abnormalities. Its dynamic profile may represent a promising early diagnostic biomarker for NAFLD and could potentially serve as a tool for metabolic disease screening and intervention.
