Background: The increasing prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), parallels the rise in sedentary lifestyles. MASLD is the most common form of steatotic liver disease (SLD), which represents the umbrella beneath which the vast majority of chronic liver diseases fall, including alcohol-related liver disease and their overlap. These conditions are the leading contributors to chronic liver disease, significantly impacting global morbidity and mortality.

It is known that thyroid hormone can regulate hepatic metabolic pathways including cholesterol, de novo lipogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, lipophagy, and carbohydrate metabolism. Thyroid hormone action is mediated by the thyroid hormone receptor (THR) isoforms and their coregulators, and THRβ is the main isoform expressed in the liver. Dysregulation of thyroid hormone levels, as seen in hypothyroidism, has been associated with dyslipidemia and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its severe subgroup metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have become a global epidemic and are driven by chronic overnutrition and multiple genetic susceptibility factors. The physiological outcomes include hepatocyte death, liver inflammation and cirrhosis. The first therapeutic for MASLD and MASH, resmetirom, has recently been approved for clinical use and has energized this therapeutic space.

Introduction: Studies have compared the group-averages of liver stiffness measures (LSMs) from multiple rib spaces by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) to stage liver fibrosis. No previous study has assessed within-individual liver stiffness variation from two rib spaces in individuals with metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: We evaluated within-individual LSM variation according to body weight classification and its clinical implication.

Global incidence of Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is on the rise while treatments remain elusive. MASLD is a disease of dysregulated systemic and hepatic metabolism. Current understanding of disease pathophysiology as it relates to metabolome changes largely comes from studies on animal models and human plasma.
