Background: Vitamin D (VD) deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but few studies have explored the potential mechanisms by which IR mediates the association between VD and the pathogenesis of NAFLD at the genetic level using publicly available databases.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, and we utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset, as well as data from GSE200765 obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) website. A total of 723 individuals who had completed liver ultrasound examination and the detection of VD levels were included in the final analysis.

Despite current treatments, alternatives are needed to address both conditions simultaneously. Ergosterol, a precursor of vitamin D, is a fungal sterol converted to brassicasterol by 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, a cholesterol biosynthesis enzyme that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol (a precursor of vitamin D) into cholesterol.
