Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is increasing globally. It is believed that the onset of NASH is contributed to by abnormalities in the lipid metabolism and increased oxidative stress. Indeed, the onset of NASH has been linked to various diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes. Most of the diseases may be explained as oxidative stress-related diseases. In recent years, the name and definition of NAFLD/NASH have been revised to MASLD/MASH, and it is attracting attention again. Research into the pathogenesis, prevention, treatment, and biomarkers of the disease has not been completed. To reduce its prevalence, solving these issues is an urgent task.
In this Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled ‘Lipid Metabolism and Nutritional Status in Patients Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)’, we would consider and encourage researchers to submit articles that propose strategies for the early detection of MASLD/MASH, elucidate the possible risk factors of MASLD/MASH in vitro or in vivo, or propose possible interventions through physical exercise and nutrition- or food-derived treatments.
