Core Tip	Obesity-associated chronic low-grade in­flammation plays a pivotal role in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Vitamin D deficiency is associated with both obesity and NAFLD, and its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties provided plausible mechanisms by which hypovitaminosis D may link adipose tissue dysfunction and NAFLD. Animal studies showed beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation on systemic inflammation and NAFLD, but these data are not confirmed by the results of clinical trials so far conducted in humans.
