Core Tip	High-protein diets have dual effects on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, depending on protein source and amount. Plant-based proteins may benefit liver metabolism, inflammation, and gut microbiota, whereas excessive animal proteins could worsen outcomes. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease patients should favor plant proteins and limit animal proteins; personalized dietary strategies require further mechanistic research.
