A Host Enzyme Reduces Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) by Inactivating Intestinal Lipopolysaccharide
2024-06-27
Abstract excerpt
The incidence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has been increasing world-wide. Since gut-derived bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can travel via the portal vein to the liver and play an important role in producing hepatic pathology, it seemed possible that (1) LPS stimulates hepatic cells to accumulate lipid, and (2) inactivating LPS can be preventive. Acyloxyacyl hydrolase (A...
