Prediction of MASLD using different screening indexes in Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Diabetol Metab Syndr

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, No. 126 Daoqian Street, Suzhou, 215000, China.

Background: Formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has now become the most widespread chronic liver disease worldwide. The primary goal of this study is to assess the ability of different indexes (including VAI, TyG, HOMA-IR, BMI, LAP, WHtR, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) to predict MASLD in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly within the Chinese population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 1,742 patients with T2DM, recruited from the Metabolic Management Centers (MMC) at Suzhou Municipal Hospital.

Impact of Endocrine Disruptors on Key Events of Hepatic Steatosis in HepG2 Cells.

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) may contribute to the rising incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We investigated the potential of 10 environmentally relevant EDCs to affect key events of hepatic steatosis in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Increased lipid droplet formation, a key marker of steatosis, was induced by PFOA, bisphenol F, DDE, butylparaben, and DEHP, within the non-cytotoxic concentration range of 1 nM-25 μM.

Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), defined by steatotic liver disease (SLD) and cardiometabolic factors, is increasing in prevalence, but its association with heart failure (HF) is unclear.

Methods And Results: Patients with SLD without a history of HF from 2006 to 2021 were retrospectively included and were classified into MASLD and non-MASLD groups that were followed longitudinally. The primary outcome was the new development of HF, which was sub-classified by echocardiography.

Fanlian Huazhuo formula: A promising therapeutic approach for metabolic associated steatotic liver disease.

World J Gastroenterol

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan.

This article reviews the study, "Fanlian huazhuo formula alleviates high-fat-diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease by modulating autophagy and lipid synthesis signaling pathway" published in the . The study explores the therapeutic potential of Fanlian Huazhuo formula (FLHZF) in treating metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), demonstrating that FLHZF reduces lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and liver injury in MASLD models by modulating key signaling pathways involved in lipid metabolism and autophagy. This editorial emphasizes the potential of FLHZF as a treatment for MASLD and calls for further research to verify its clinical efficacy.

Together with obesity and type 2 diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing global epidemic. Activation of the complement system and infiltration of macrophages has been linked to progression of metabolic liver disease. The role of complement receptors in macrophage activation and recruitment in MASLD remains poorly understood.
