Objectives: Isostrictiniin (ITN), a natural polyphenol extracted from (snow-white waterlily), has antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities that may be beneficial in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of ITN on high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFSD)-induced steatosis in MASLD mice and its mechanisms.
Methods: Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control and HFSD groups.
