Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue in Nutrients welcomes leading experts and researchers to present the current research perspectives in nutrition focused on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, former non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)) management. MASLD gathers a spectrum of hepatic diseases, including simple steatosis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis, and MASH-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MASLD is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, and it affects one quarter of the global population. Despite the increasing research in the area, changes in food habits and exercise are the main preventive strategy. The purpose of this call is to explore the current evidence in nutrition, which encompasses factors from basic research in molecular mechanisms of action of certain nutrients and bioactive compounds to nutritional guidelines recommended in clinical research to manage MASLD. Thus, this Special Issue aims to include original works and literature reviews that explore nutritional approaches with novel food bioactive compounds or functional foods, innovative dietary strategies based on precision nutrition, as well as dietary recommendations from randomised controlled trials focused on MASLD management.
