Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally, with rising prevalence linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS). Excessive liver fat accumulation (steatosis) worsens disease progression and MASLD prognosis. Moreover, gut microbiota dysbiosis might promote steatosis, accelerating the disease progression to severe stages.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. It is now updated as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The progression of MASLD to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involves complex mechanisms, with the gut microbiota and its metabolites playing a pivotal role in this transformation through the "gut-liver axis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally. Disruptions in iron metabolism and mitochondrial oxidative function may cooperatively contribute to its pathogenesis. Ferredoxin reductase (FDXR), a mitochondrial flavoprotein, plays a critical role in mitochondrial respiratory supercomplex formation and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis-both essential for efficient oxidative metabolism.

Aims/hypothesis: CIDEB (cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector B) deficiency is associated with a reduced incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in humans; however, the underlying mechanism responsible for this protective effect remains unclear.
Methods: C57BL/6J male mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to recapitulate key aspects of MASLD and hepatic insulin resistance. Cideb knockdown (KD) was achieved using a 2'-O-methoxyethyl (MOE) antisense oligonucleotide (ASO).

Background: The approach to appropriate risk stratification for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is variable, and the adoption of non-invasive liver disease assessments in clinical practice is suboptimal. In this study, we implemented an electronic decision support tool for primary care patients with MASLD to assess its influence on linkage to care.
Methods: We performed a prospective, before-and-after pilot study in which post-implementation providers were presented with an electronic decision aid automating non-invasive liver disease assessments with the Fibrosis-4 score and providing individualized, guideline-directed recommendations.
