Interplay between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and renal function: An intriguing pediatric perspective
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 21;30(15):2081-2086. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i15.2081.ABSTRACTOver recent years, the nomenclature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has undergone significant changes. Indeed, in 2020, an expert consensus panel proposed the term "Metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease" (MAFLD) to underscore the close association of fatty liver with metabolic abnormalities, thereby highlighting the cardiometabolic risks (such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease) faced by these patients since childhood. More recently, this term has been further ...

Necroptosis contributes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathoetiology with promising diagnostic and therapeutic functions
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 14;30(14):1968-1981. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i14.1968.ABSTRACTNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent type of chronic liver disease. However, the disease is underappreciated as a remarkable chronic disorder as there are rare managing strategies. Several studies have focused on determining NAFLD-caused hepatocyte death to elucidate the disease pathoetiology and suggest functional therapeutic and diagnostic options. Pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis are the main subtypes of non-apoptotic regulated cell deaths (RCDs), each of which represents particular characteristic...

Liver fat as a dietary target by Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) diet for treating type 2 diabetes with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
This study aims to investigate the long-term effect of a Chinese Medical Nutrition Therapy (CMNT) diet accompanied by intermittent energy restriction on reducing liver fat and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre two-armed parallel randomised controlled trial study. 120 participants with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD will be recruited from the physical examination centres of multiple hospitals in China. Participants will be randomly allocated 1:1 to either the CMNT group or the usual care group. The CMNT group will be instructed to consume the prov...

Dietary inflammatory impact on NAFLD development in obese vs. lean individuals: an analysis based on NHANES 2003 –2018
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), often linked with obesity, can also affect individuals with normal weight, a condition known as “lean NAFLD”, imposing comparable burdens and adverse effects. However... (Source: Lipids in Health and Disease)

Oncheong-eum alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation and intestinal barrier disruption in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in vivo model
ConclusionOCE reduces body weight, increases the weight of organs when fed a high-fat diet, and improves the lipid composition of the serum and liver. Therefore, OCE has shown great application potential as a material for obesity-related medicines and health-functional food. (Source: Molecular and Cellular Toxicology)

Relationship between changes in blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c], cholesterol, and triglyceride and changes in hepatic enzymes
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):23-28. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.4.ABSTRACTThe main risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. The best clinical evaluation of the liver is done through studying changes in liver enzymes' activity, especially alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in factors such as blood glucose, cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and triglyceride and changes in hepat...

MiR-18 regulates lipid metabolism of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via IGF1
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):237-241. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.37.ABSTRACTWe aimed to illustrate the regulatory effect of miR-18 on the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MiR-18 level in liver tissues collected from NAFLD patients and mice was detected. In vivo and in vitro influences of miR-18 on biochemical indexes, glucose tolerance and insulin resistance (IR) in NAFLD were determined. H&E staining was conducted to observe hepatic steatosis in NAFLD mice. The downstream target of miR-18 was finally detected by luciferase assay. MiR-18 was upregulated in liver tissues collecte...

Integrating network pharmacology and experimental validation reveals therapeutic effects of D-mannose on NAFLD through mTOR suppression
In this study, network pharmacology followed by molecular docking analysis was utilized to identify potential targets of mannose against NAFLD, and the leptin receptor-deficient, genetically obese db/db mice was employed as an animal model of NAFLD to validate the regulation of D-mannose on core targets. As a result, 67 targets of mannose are predicted associated with NAFLD, which are surprisingly centered on the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Further analyses suggest that mTOR signaling is functionally enriched in potential targets of mannose treating NAFLD, and that mannose putatively binds to mTOR as a core mec...
