Mitochondria play a pivotal role in numerous features of hepatic function, driving processes such as substrate metabolism, energy production through cellular signalling, and biotransformation of xenobiotics.
The growing global prevalence of metabolic diseases, e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hyperlipidaemia, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), accounts for a significant proportion of this burden.

At-risk non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined as NASH with NAFLD activity scores (NAS) ≥4 and significant fibrosis (F ≥ 2) diagnosed via histological scoring of liver biopsy.

Recent literature on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has sought to characterise its bidirectional association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common liver disease in children, has seen a consistent rise in prevalence in recent years due to its direct link with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (August 2023)
Despite ample preclinical evidence of numerous compounds’ efficacy and over 15 years of clinical trials, no pharmacotherapy has yet been approved to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has seen a consistent rise in prevalence in recent years owing to the global epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D)

In 2020, a group of international experts proposed that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) be renamed to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
In patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the risk of liver-related mortality and decompensation is known to increase proportionally with fibrosis stage. Non-invasive tools, including liver stiffness by vibration-controlled transient elastography (LS-VCTE), have been shown to accurately predict fibrosis stage in NASH patients.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major contributor to liver-related illnesses and fatalities worldwide. Its clearly established two-way connection with obesity, a significant public health issue showing increasing prevalence rates globally and regionally, necessitates comprehensive education focused on NAFLD and the implementation of worldwide policies to address it effectively.
