The Claim
Plasma levels of omega-6 oxylipins (HETEs and DiHETrEs) are positively correlated with markers of fatty liver disease, including gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and fatty liver index, in middle-aged adults.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In middle-aged adults, higher levels of certain omega-6 breakdown products in the blood are linked to higher levels of liver damage markers and a greater likelihood of fatty liver disease.

When the body breaks down certain fats from the diet, it produces inflammatory molecules called oxylipins that trigger liver inflammation and block insulin signaling. This causes fat to build up in liver cells and damages the liver, raising specific enzymes in the blood that signal liver stress.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that middle-aged adults with higher levels of certain inflammatory fats from omega-6 oils in their blood also had higher levels of liver enzymes and a higher estimated risk of fatty liver—meaning these fats are linked to liver stress.
