Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystem metabolic disorder, marked by abnormal lipid accumulation and intricate inter-organ interactions, which contribute to systemic imbalances. NAFLD may progress through several stages, including simple steatosis (NAFL), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, potentially cancer. This closely associated with disorders driven overnutrition, key pathological processes dysregulation, impaired autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, local inflammation. While hepatic metabolism in well-documented, further research into communication mechanisms crucial for deeper understanding of progression. review delves intrahepatic networks tissue-specific signaling mediators involved pathogenesis, emphasizing their impact on distal organs.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by excessive lipid accumulation in the which dysregulates organ’s function. The key contributor to MASLD development insulin resistance (IR) affects many organs (including adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, and liver), whereas molecular background associated with oxidative, nitrosative, carbonyl stress. Among molecules responsible for stress effects, methylglyoxal (MGO) seems play major pathological MGO—a by-product of glycolysis, fructolysis, lipolysis (from glycerol fatty acids-derived ketone bodies)—is implicated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases. Its causative effect stimulation prooxidative proinflammatory pathways has been well documented. Since metabolic dysregulation leading these pathologies promotes MASLD, role MGO addressed this review. Potential participation mechanism discussed regard its different signaling routes events accelerating disorder. Moreover, treatment strategies including approved potential therapies are overviewed them, medications aimed at attenuating MGO-induced processes addressed.

ABSTRACT Fructose catabolism by Streptococcus mutans is initiated three phosphotransferase (PTS) transporters yielding fructose-1-phosphate (F-1-P) or fructose-6-phosphate. Deletion of one such F-1-P-generating PTS, fruI , was shown to reduce the cariogenicity S. in rats fed a high-sucrose diet. Moreover, recent study linked fructose metabolism reactive electrophile species methylglyoxal. Here, we conducted comparative transcriptomic analysis treated briefly with 50 mM fructose, glucose, 5 methylglyoxal, 0.5 hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ).
