Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis may share a common pathogenesis involving chronic IL-1β-induced inflammation. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of diacerein, an IL-1 pathway inhibitor, in improving liver fibrosis, steatosis, and atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-knockout (apoE k/o) mice. ApoE k/o mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) were divided into three groups based on diacerein dosage. Liver fat accumulation and fibrosis severity were compared across groups, along with chan
