Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MASLD/NAFLD has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic dysfunction. Despite its growing prevalence and clinical burden, effective pharmacological therapies remain limited, positioning nutritional and dietary interventions as cornerstone strategies for both prevention and management. Accumulating evidence highlights the profound impact of dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient status, and bioactive compounds on hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis progression. Moreover, emerging research into gut–liver axis modulation, personalized nutrition, and nutrigenomics offers promising avenues for precision-based dietary approaches.
This Special Issue seeks to advance the current understanding of how targeted nutritional strategies can mitigate MASLD progression and improve metabolic health. We welcome original research, clinical studies, systematic reviews, and mechanistic investigations that explore dietary interventions, lifestyle modifications, and novel nutritional therapeutics. By integrating basic science, clinical evidence, and translational perspectives, this collection aims to provide comprehensive insights and foster innovative approaches to combat MASLD in diverse populations.
