Clinical features and metabolic complications for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in youth with obesity

Emiliano Barbieri et al.

Summary: Pediatric obesity has become the most common metabolic disease in children and adolescents in the western world, affecting around 25% of the pediatric population. The progression of obesity leads to insulin resistance and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review discusses the clinical implications of insulin resistance and NAFLD in the context of pediatric obesity, including the pathogenesis, genetic factors, and the development of type 2 diabetes.

Ellagic acid protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in streptozotocin-diabetic rats by activating AMPK

Jozaa Z. ALTamimi et al.

Summary: Ellagic acid (EA) has anti-steatotic effects in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus in rats, potentially mediated through the AMPK signaling pathway. It reduces blood glucose levels, increases insulin levels, prevents hepatic lipid accumulation, and decreases levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids. It also reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver.

The AMPK pathway in fatty liver disease

Chunqiu Fang et al.

Summary: Lipid metabolism disorders are the primary causes for various liver diseases, and the activation of the AMPK signaling pathway plays an important role in ameliorating these disorders. AMPK activation can alleviate fatty liver disease caused by alcohol, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Natural AMPK agonists can regulate lipid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress in hepatocytes, thereby regulating fatty liver disease.

Chronic Inflammation-A Link between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Dysfunctional Adipose Tissue

Maria Petrescu et al.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, characterized by complex metabolic dysregulation involving excessive accumulation of triglycerides in liver cells, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, and lipotoxicity. This review provides an overview of the interplay between these processes, the role of dysfunctional adipose tissue (AT), and various external and internal factors contributing to NAFLD pathogenesis. A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms could lead to the development of personalized treatments targeting lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, as well as prevention strategies for NAFLD.
