Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may offer significant benefits in managing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease ().

  • MASLD is linked to severe health issues, including cirrhosis and mortality.
  • Lifestyle changes are critical for managing MASLD but are often difficult to maintain long-term.
  • GLP-1RAs have shown promising effects in both preclinical and clinical studies for MASLD treatment.
  • The article reviews the therapeutic advantages of GLP-1RAs for liver health.
  • Key discussions include optimal trial endpoints and management of related health conditions.
