The epidemiological burden of liver steatosis associated with metabolic diseases is continuously growing worldwide and in all age classes. This condition generates possible progression damage (i.e., inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma) but also independently increases the risk cardio-metabolic cancer. In recent years, terminological evolution from “nonalcoholic fatty disease” (NAFLD) to “metabolic dysfunction-associated (MAFLD) and, finally, steatotic (MASLD) has been paralleled by increased knowledge mechanisms linking local hepatic) systemic pathogenic pathways. As a consequence, need for an appropriate classification individual phenotypes oriented investigation innovative therapeutic tools. Besides well-known role lifestyle change, number pharmacological approaches have explored, ranging antidiabetic drugs agonists acting on gut–liver axis at level (mainly farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists, PPAR thyroid hormone agonists), anti-fibrotic anti-inflammatory agents. intrinsically complex pathophysiological history MASLD makes selection single effective treatment major challenge, so far. this evolving scenario, cooperation between different stakeholders (including subjects risk, health professionals, pharmaceutical industries) could significantly improve management disease implementation primary secondary prevention measures. high healthcare search new, effective, safe pressing need, together accurate characterization phenotypes. Recent promising advances indicate that we may soon enter era precise personalized therapy MASLD/MASH.

Obesity, along with metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, various cancers, other non-communicable diseases, thereby contributing to higher mortality rates. The intestinal microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis influencing human metabolism. This study enrolled 82 young obese individuals, who were stratified into groups or without disturbances. No significant differences alpha beta diversity microbiota observed among groups.

Intestinal dysbiosis and disrupted bile acid (BA) homeostasis are associated with obesity, but the precise mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. Hepatic protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3G (PPP1R3G) plays a pivotal role in regulating glycolipid metabolism; nevertheless, its obesity-combatting potency remains unclear. In this study, substantial reduction was observed serum PPP1R3G levels high-body mass index high-fat diet (HFD)-exposed mice, establishing positive correlation between non-12α-hydroxylated (non-12-OH) BA content. Additionally, hepatocyte-specific overexpression of Ppp1r3g (PPP1R3G HOE) mitigated HFD-induced obesity as evidenced by reduced weight fat mass, an improved lipid profile; hepatic steatosis alleviation confirmed normalized liver enzymes histology. HOE considerably impacted systemic homeostasis, which notably increased non-12-OH BAs ratio, particularly lithocholate (LCA). 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequencing assay indicated that reversed gut reducing Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio Lactobacillus population, elevating relative abundance Blautia, exhibited LCA levels. A fecal microbiome transplantation test anti-obesity effect microbiota-dependent.

Furthermore, administration significantly phenotype elevated These findings emphasize significance ameliorating diet-induced adiposity through microbiota-BA axis, may serve potential therapeutic targets for obesity-related disorders.
