Description
Summary:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease and is closely associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic syndrome. However, effective treatment strategies for NAFLD are still lacking. In recent years, progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of NAFLD, identifying multiple therapeutic targets and providing new directions for drug development. This review summarizes the recent advances in the treatment of NAFLD, focusing on the mechanisms of action of natural products, small-synthetic-molecule drugs, and combination therapy strategies. This review aims to provide new insights and strategies in treating NAFLD.
