Abstract:

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease is a chronic liver disease associated with metabolic disorders, usually caused by disturbances in the body's metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, and its pathogenesis is related to inflammatory response, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. This disease seriously affects the liver health of humans and animals, leading to liver injury, hepatic failure and even the occurrence of liver cancer, increasing the risk of complications such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even death. Natural active substances derived from vegetables, fruits, grains and plant medicinal herbs that regulate sugar and lipid metabolism, resist antioxidant stress, relieve inflammatory response, and improve intestinal microbiota balance can regulate liver metabolic function, reduce inflammatory response, and repair liver injury, and have unique benefits in the prevention and treatment of metabolic associated fatty liver disease. This article summarizes natural active substances that can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, resist oxidative stress, relieve inflammatory response, improve intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism disorders, and discusses potential preventive and therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of these agents in human and animal metabolic associated fatty liver disease, with the aim of providing a theoretical reference for the development of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of metabolic associated fatty liver disease in clinical medicine or animal husbandry practice.

Key words: natural active substances, metabolic associated fatty liver disease, prevention and treatment, research progress, humans and animals
