Association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: A 7-year retrospective cohort study of 3,496 adults using serial echocardiography
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that NAFLD was associated with an increased risk of LVDD in a large cohort. More severe forms of hepatic steatosis and/or significant liver fibrosis may increase the risk of developing LVDD.PMID:38608865 | DOI:10.1016/j.diabet.2024.101534 (Source: Diabetes and Metabolism)

GSE260582 Mitochondrial ACSS1-K-635 acetylation mimic knock-in mice exhibit altered lipid metabolism, hepatic cell senescence, and acute non-alcoholic fatty liver [2ndSet_analysis]
Contributors : David Gius ; Guogang Xu ; Joseph Schell ; Nobuo Horikoshi ; Yidong Chen ; Zhao LaiSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusWe generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q). Male Acss1K635Q/K635Q mice were smaller with higher metabolic rate and blood acetate, and decreased liver/serum ATP and lactate levels. After a 48-hour fast, Acss1K635Q/K635Q mice presented hypothermia and liver aberrations, including enlargement, discoloration, lipid droplet accumulation, and microsteatosis – consistent with nonalco...

Optimal probiotic combinations for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
Probiotic administration is a promising therapy for improving conditions in NAFLD patients. This network meta-analysis aimed to compare and estimate the relative effects of probiotic interventions and identify the optimal probiotic species for the treatment of NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) patients.

FDA Okays First Drug for Scarring From Fatty Liver Disease
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved resmetirom, marketed as Rezdiffra, for adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without cirrhosis. NASH is a progressive fatty liver disease that affects up to 8 million people in the US and can cause liver inflammation and scarring, known as fibrosis. Resmetirom, an oral drug that reduces the accumulation of liver fat, can be used along with diet and exercise, which are the standard care for patients with NASH.
