Mitochondrial quality control as a key factor in fatty liver disease linked to metabolism problems

Updated

Abstract

Impairment of mitochondrial quality control is associated with metabolism-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

  • Reduced mitophagy may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in MASLD.
  • Increased mitochondrial fission and decreased fusion are observed in this condition.
  • Impaired mitochondrial biogenesis is linked to the progression of MASLD.
  • Pathological mechanisms such as hepatocyte apoptosis and pyroptosis are activated by factors like free fatty acids and oxidative stress.
  • Potential therapeutic strategies include enhancing autophagy and regulating mitochondrial dynamics.
