| Title: | SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. |
| Abstract: | Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a chronic condition that affects nearly one billion people globally, characterized by triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver as a consequence of metabolic abnormalities (obesity and impaired glucose regulation). Low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dysbiosis in gut microbiota are involved in the etiology of MAFLD, and both cardiovascular events and hepatic complications are the long-term consequences. In the absence of approved therapies for this condition, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2 Is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have the specific advantage of lowering body weight and providing cardiovascular benefits. Here, we discuss potential roles for SGLT-2 Is and GLP-1 RAs in the prevention and treatment of intrahepatic triacylglycerol accumulation and associated inflammation and/or fibrosis. |
