Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with impaired mitochondrial function and disrupted mitophagy.
- NAFLD is a growing global health concern linked to liver function impairment.
- Gut microbiota-derived metabolites may play a key role in the progression of NAFLD.
- Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) is a microbiota-derived metabolite that has been associated with NAFLD development.
- The specific influence of IPA on the process of mitophagy is not well defined.
