The prevalence of metabolic-related disorders, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), has been increasing. Therefore, developing improved methods for the prevention, treatment, detection these two conditions is also necessary. In this study, our primary focus was on examining role chronic inflammation a potential link in pathogenesis diseases their interconnections. A comprehensive search PubMed database using keywords "non-alcoholic disease", "type mellitus", "chronic inflammation", "pathogenesis", "progression" yielded 177 relevant papers analysis. findings study revealed intricate relationships between NAFLD DM2, emphasizing crucial inflammatory processes. These connections involve various molecular functions, including altered signaling pathways, patterns gene methylation, expression related peptides, up- downregulation several genes.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic hepatic steatohepatitis (NASH) are on the rise, therapeutics to successfully target these detrimental conditions very limited.Nutrient-induced lipid overload across cells in mammalian contributes mitochondrial dysfunction, producing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that initiate hepatosteatosis.Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) integrate perturbations into proinflammatory cellular behavior parenchymal immune cells, supporting NAFLD pathogenesis progression NASH.Intracellular components of canonical PRR system, complement (the complosome), operate a range humans mice, may contribute NAFLD/NASH pathogenesis.Pharmacologically targeting nutrient–mitochondria–PRR pathways, including intracellularly active complement, might lead new putative treatments.

Abstract Cholesterol plays essential roles in biological processes, including cell membrane stability and myelin formation. can be metabolized to oxysterols by enzymatic or nonenzymatic ways. Nonenzymatic cholesterol metabolites, also called cholesterol‐autoxidation are formed dependent on the oxidation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as OH• nitrogen species, ONOO − . Cholesterol‐autoxidation metabolites abundantly produced diseases inflammatory bowel disease atherosclerosis, which associated with oxidative stress. Recent studies have shown that further regulate immune system.
