Core Tip	Intrahepatic renin-angiotensin system activation contributes to insulin resistance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease onset. ANG Ⅱ interaction with angiotensin Ⅱ receptor type 1 (AT1R) mediates pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic responses, besides enhancing the oxidative stress, which makes the liver more prone to noxious liver diseases. AT1R blockers mitigate insulin resistance and fatty liver by enhancing beta-oxidation, reducing lipogenesis and controlling inflammation. The impact of the AT1R blockade on liver ACE2-angiotensin (1-7)-MAS receptor axis remains to be fully unraveled.
