Article Synopsis
  • Resmetirom is a newly FDA-approved drug for treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious liver condition that can lead to cirrhosis and cancer.
  • It has been shown to significantly reduce liver fat, improve liver tissue health, and enhance metabolic health, leading to the resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis in many patients.
  • Although it may cause some gastrointestinal side effects, resmetirom is generally considered safe, and ongoing phase 3 trials will provide more information on its long-term effectiveness and safety.

The Role of Exercise in Steatotic Liver Diseases: An Updated Perspective.

Liver Int

January 2025

Depatrtment of Medicine, Karsh Division of Gastroenterology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.

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.

Harnessing nuclear receptors to modulate hepatic stellate cell activation for liver fibrosis resolution.

Biochem Pharmacol

December 2024

Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China; Zhongshan Institute for Drug Discovery, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhongshan, China; University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

With the recent approval of Resmetirom as the first drug targeting nuclear receptors for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), there is promising way to treat MASH-associated liver fibrosis. However, liver fibrosis can arise from various pathogenic factors, and effective treatments for fibrosis due to other causes remain elusive. The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) represents a central link in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis.

NORAD exacerbates metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease development via the miR-511-3p/Rock2 axis and inhibits ubiquitin-mediated degradation of ROCK2.

Metabolism

December 2024

Department of Pathology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, China; Postdoctoral Research Station of Clinical Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Background & Aims: Abnormal expression of long noncoding RNAs is strongly linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores the roles of noncoding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD)/miR-511-3p/Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (Rock2) axis and the NORAD/ROCK2 interaction in the development of MASLD.

Thyroid hormone and the Liver.

Hepatol Commun

January 2025

Department of Medicine, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

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.
