Metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease: The new nomenclature and its impact

Si-Ying Tang et al.

Summary: In 2020, a new definition of fatty liver called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) was proposed. MAFLD added criteria for defining metabolic dysfunctions, which are high-risk factors for liver-related and cardiovascular events. Unlike the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) definition, it allows the coexistence of MAFLD and significant alcohol use in the same patient.

Diet-induced gut dysbiosis and inflammation: Key drivers of obesity-driven NASH

Gideon G. Kang et al.

Summary: Sucrose, a primary sugar in plants, contains equal fructose and glucose. Excessive energy intake leads to obesity and liver diseases like NAFLD and NASH. A high-caloric diet disrupts gut microbiota, causing intestinal inflammation and leaky gut. This can result in hepatic inflammation and ER stress, leading to NASH. This review focuses on the metabolic connections between diet-induced gut changes and NASH, as well as therapeutic intervention to restore the gut-liver axis.

Advances in multi-omics study of biomarkers of glycolipid metabolism disorder

Xinyi Fang et al.

Summary: Disorders in glycolipid metabolism pose significant threats to human health and life. Multiple factors such as genetics, environment, psychology, cells, and molecules contribute to the development of these disorders. Dysfunctions in the neuroendocrine axis, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, chronic inflammatory responses, and dysbiosis of gut microbiota are central pathological links. High-throughput technologies like genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and gut microbiomics can help identify novel biomarkers for clinical management. However, further research is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets of glycolipid metabolism disorders.
