Abstract

Resmetirom is the first treatment approved by the FDA specifically aimed at reducing liver fibrosis in metabolic-associated steatohepatitis.

  • Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists may be effective for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), particularly when used in combination therapy.
  • Resmetirom acts directly on liver pathways as a thyroid hormone beta-selective agonist, enhancing its therapeutic potential for liver fibrosis.
  • Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and regular exercise, are essential for improving outcomes in liver disease management.
  • Incorporating lifestyle factors into treatment strategies could reduce the need for medications and improve their efficacy.
