Core Tip Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common type of chronic liver disease, affecting more than a quarter of the global population. MASLD is driven by many factors, including dietary and genetic factors. Without effective treatment, MASLD can lead to liver cirrhosis and cancer. Currently, treatment options for MASLD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), an advanced form of MASLD, are limited. Ongoing clinical trials suggest that drug repurposing for metabolic disorders, dietary modifications, exercise, natural products, and combination therapies offer promising strategies for the management and treatment of MASLD and MASH.
