Physical Activity and Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Kara DiJoseph et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that higher levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vigorous physical activity showed an even stronger association with lower HCC risk. These findings support the use of regular physical activity as an effective preventive measure against HCC.

Patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Advanced Liver Disease Have the Lowest Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Jessica Dahmus et al.

Summary: Cardiorespiratory fitness is independently associated with liver fibrosis in patients with NASH, and advanced fibrosis is predictive of lower fitness levels. Further research is needed to explore exercise training as a potential intervention to improve fitness and reduce morbidity and mortality in NASH patients.

NASHFit: A randomized controlled trial of an exercise training program to reduce clotting risk in patients with NASH

Jonathan G. Stine et al.

Summary: This clinical trial showed that exercise training can significantly decrease thrombotic risk in patients with NASH, independent of weight loss or dietary change. This is accompanied with a reduction in liver fat and improvement in fitness.

Clinical utility of 30% relative decline in MRI-PDFF in predicting fibrosis regression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Nobuharu Tamaki et al.

Summary: Emerging data suggests that a 30% relative decline in liver fat, as assessed by MRI-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), is associated with improvement in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score, and it is also an independent predictor of fibrosis regression in NAFLD patients.

The role of FGF21 and its analogs on liver associated diseases

Kimia Falamarzi et al.

Summary: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hormone-like growth factor that regulates lipid and glucose metabolism. It plays an important role in improving lipid profile and increasing insulin sensitivity. FGF21 is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Mortality in biopsy-confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: results from a nationwide cohort

Tracey G. Simon et al.

Summary: Population-based data in Sweden showed that all histological stages of NAFLD were linked with significantly increased overall mortality, and the risk escalated progressively with worsening histology. Excess mortality was mainly attributed to extrahepatic cancer and cirrhosis, while cardiovascular disease and HCC made modest contributions.

Effect of exercise on hepatic steatosis: Are benefits seen without dietary intervention? A systematic review andmeta-analysis

Callum John Baker et al.

Summary: This systematic review demonstrated that exercise alone without dietary intervention can improve liver fat in individuals with NAFLD, and changes in weight and cardiorespiratory fitness significantly contribute to changes in liver fat. Clinical markers may be useful proxies for quantifying liver fat changes.

FGF21 in obesity and cancer: New insights

Weiqin Lu et al.

Summary: FGF21 is a novel metabolic regulator that acts as a stress sensor in tissues like the liver, promoting metabolic homeostasis through pathways that encourage lipid catabolism. Its signal pathway targets white and brown adipose tissues, playing a key role in preventing the development of diseases like fatty pancreas and steato-hepatitis.

Manal F. Abdelmalek et al.

Summary: Pegbelfermin (PGBF), a human fibroblast growth factor 21 analog, is being evaluated for its therapeutic effects on patients with NASH in the FALCON 1 and 2 studies. The primary focus is on improvement in fibrosis and progression of NASH in patients with advanced fibrosis.

Physical activity is associated with reduced risk of liver disease in the prospective UK Biobank cohort

Carolin Schneider et al.

Summary: This study aimed to clarify the association between accelerometer-measured physical activity and chronic liver disease by examining risk of overall and specific liver diseases and their progression in relation to accelerometer-based physical activity in 96,688 participants in the UK Biobank. The results showed a clear, dose-dependent protective association between accelerometer-measured physical activity and liver disease development and progression, suggesting the potential use of wearables for personalized prevention of liver diseases.
