Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing global health concern, impacting approximately 32.4% of the worldwide population. As linked to metabolic dysfunction, NAFLD continues rise alongside increases in obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and syndrome. There considerable evidence indicating that disproportionately affects racial, ethnic, minority groups, although exact reasons for these disparities remain elusive. Contributing factors this may include socioeconomic status, cultural influences, stress, genetic factors, lifestyle choices. Emerging suggests causal could influence epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation histone modifications, as well composition diversity gut microbiota. Nevertheless, there scarcity research comprehensively examines interplay between changes microbiome variations relation across different racial ethnic populations globally.

The gut microbiota has emerged as a critical player in metabolic and liver health, with its influence extending to the pathogenesis progression of steatotic diseases. This review delves into gut-liver axis, dynamic communication network linking microbiome through metabolic, immunological, inflammatory pathways. Dysbiosis, characterized by altered microbial composition, contributes significantly development hepatic steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis via mechanisms such barrier dysfunction, metabolite production, systemic inflammation. Dietary patterns, including Mediterranean diet, are highlighted for their role modulating microbiota, improving axis integrity, attenuating injury. Additionally, emerging microbiota-based interventions, fecal transplantation bacteriophage therapy, show promise therapeutic strategies disease. However, challenges population heterogeneity, methodological variability, knowledge gaps hinder translational application current findings. Addressing these barriers standardized approaches integrative research will pave way microbiota-targeted therapies mitigate global burden

Naringenin (NAR) possesses various pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. However, its therapeutic efficacy is limited by hydrophobic crystalline nature. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of NAR efficiently loaded into cationic nanoparticles (NP-NAR) for treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in a mouse model. The results demonstrated that NP-NAR effectively ameliorated lipid metabolism dysbiosis, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, inflammation MASLD mice. Transcriptomic analysis data revealed promoted fatty acid oxidation via activation PPAR signaling pathway, reduced hepatic uptake lipogenesis inhibiting expressions key genes CD36, ACC, FASN. Moreover, modulated cholesterol classical bile synthesis pathway. 16 S rDNA gene sequencing disbalanced gut microbiota mice, whereas treatment statistically reversed abundance changes several intestinal bacteria at phylum genus levels, which partly contributed balance metabolite production, short-chain acids. In conclusion, these findings suggest may be promising candidate obesity-associated MASLD, offering new insight underlying NAR's against MASLD.
