ABSTRACT
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most
common liver disease worldwide, the prevalence of which had
progressively increased over the past 10 years where other liver
diseases remained at the same prevalence rates or are expected to
decrease as in the case of hepatitis C virus (HCV). The treatment of
NAFLD is of prime concern to health care professionals and patients
due to the significant mortality and morbidity it implies; the problem
is further escalated by the fact that standard of care medications
targeting NAFLD remain experimental and without evidence base.
Treatment nowadays is focused on lifestyle modification and
managing the comorbid associated diseases, with a possible role for
some hepatic protective agents.
Medications include agents for weight loss, insulin sensitizers, drugs
that reduce blood lipids, glucagon-mimetics, drugs that may reduce
fibrosis, angiotensin receptor blockers, and medicines believed to
reduce endoplasmic reticular stress such as vitamin E,
ursodeoxycholic acid, and S-adenosyl methionine. Ursodeoxycholic
acid (UDCA) is a metabolic by-product of intestinal bacteria,
showing hepatoprotective effects. However, its underlying molecular
mechanisms remain unclear. The action mechanisms underlying the
