  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health issue that can worsen into serious liver conditions, with no current effective treatments available.
  • A study using mouse models explored the effects of dapagliflozin, a new diabetes medication, in reducing liver damage associated with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD.
  • Results showed that dapagliflozin significantly lowered blood sugar levels and improved liver function by decreasing certain liver proteins, suggesting it may be a promising treatment option for NAFLD linked to type 2 diabetes.
