Article Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a severe hepatic health threat with no effective treatment. Based on the results that Chenopodium quinoa Willd. flavonoids eluted with 30% ethanol (CQWF30) can effectively alleviate NAFLD, this study employed ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) to analyze the components of CQWF30., and screened for flavonoids with potential NAFLD-mitigating effects through network pharmacology. In vitro models using HepG2 and BEL-7402 cell lines induced with free fatty acid (FFA) showed that isorhamnetin administration reduced intracellular lipid deposition and reversed elevated triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (T-CHO) levels. In vivo experiments in high-fat diet (HFD) mice demonstrated that isorhamnetin significantly lowered serum and liver fat content, mitigated liver damage, and modulated bile acid metabolism by upregulating FXR and BSEP and downregulating SLCO1B3. Consequently, isorhamnetin shows promise as a treatment for NAFLD due to its lipid-lowering and hepatoprotective activities.

Background: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing demographic shifts potentially increasing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its complications. We assessed MASLD prevalence and liver disease burden from 2010 to 2021.

Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD), United Nations Population Division and NCD Risk Factor Collaboration covering 21 MENA countries were used for annual percent change (APC) trends per Joinpoint regression.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an emerging global health concern, and its presence increases the risk of multi-system diseases. This study aimed to investigate the multimorbidity trajectories of chronic diseases in people living with MASLD.

Methods: We identified 137 859 MASLD patients in UK Biobank and used 'propensity score matching' to match an equal number of non-MASLD controls.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) via pathways involving insulin resistance (IR). The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a widely used marker of IR, is associated with both OSA and NAFLD. However, the role of the TyG index in linking OSA to NAFLD remains underexplored.

Background & Aims: Conflicting evidence exists on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) receiving tenofovir entecavir. We assessed the impacts of the two drugs on the clinical trajectory of CHB at a population level.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide cohort study using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, including 55,885 patients with CHB who were treatment-naïve aged 30-75 years receiving tenofovir (n = 17,137) or entecavir (n = 38,748) monotherapy for ≥3 months between November 2009 and December 2020, and followed until December 2022.

4-Phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), initially recognized for treating urea cycle disorders, has emerged as a potent therapeutic agent with broad-spectrum potential. As a chemical chaperone, 4-PBA modulates protein folding and reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress. 4-PBA has demonstrated efficacy in treating ocular herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection and HSV-1-induced encephalitis, highlighting its potential as a novel anti-herpetic therapy.
