Core Tip This review proposes a unifying framework in which a high-fat diet, gut dysbiosis, and oxidative stress form a self-reinforcing pathogenic triad driving metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. We synthesize evidence showing how diet-induced microbial imbalance disrupts intestinal barrier integrity, promotes endotoxemia, and amplifies hepatic oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis. By positioning oxidative stress as a central mechanistic nexus linking diet and microbiota, this review highlights antioxidant-based lifestyle, nutritional, and pharmacological strategies as promising, integrative approaches for prevention and treatment.
