Article Synopsis
- Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a serious health issue linked to insulin resistance, involving conditions from simple fat accumulation in the liver to liver cancer.
- A study explored the effects of a traditional herbal remedy used in East Asia and its active ingredient, atractylodin, on treating MASLD in mice, showing reductions in body weight, liver fat, and blood sugar levels after 8 weeks on a high-fat diet.
- The findings revealed that atractylodin activated a key protein (AMPK), leading to improvements in obesity, fatty liver, and glucose metabolism, indicating its potential as a treatment option for MASLD.
