Core Tip	The increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in the Indian population is closely linked to high-fat, high-sugar dietary patterns and a sedentary lifestyle. Developing region-specific dietary models can aid in effective preclinical screening of therapeutic agents. In this context, Kaempferol, a natural flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-regulating properties, shows promising potential as a nutraceutical strategy for the management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
