Core Tip Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is a leading cause of severe liver disease worldwide. Intriguingly, the rise in the incidence of metabolic diseases including MASLD parallels rapid industrialization and environmental pollution worldwide. Microplastics (MPs) are a big global issue and have been found in human blood, lungs, kidneys, and liver. While some effects of MPs on liver health are known, more research is needed to understand how MPs harm the liver and how they relate to lifestyle risks. This article looks at how MPs affect liver metabolism and their role in the progression of MASLD.
