“Increased intestinal permeability is a feature of metabolic diseases such as obesity,, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Patients with metabolic diseases tend to have higher blood levels of endotoxin, leading to chronic activation of TLR4 and its downstream pro-inflammatory pathways.”

“A diet low in refined sugar improved fat and inflammation in the livers of boys with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. They reduced their fatty liver disease from 25% to 17% while the boys with their standard diet had a reduction from 21% to 20%.”

“Still, the findings make essential phospholipids an interesting treatment candidate for MASLD patients while keeping lifestyle care and metabolic risk management central. In Q&A #82, I discussed whether increasing choline intake and other lifestyle strategies can help reverse fatty liver disease.”

“"Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease who took a resveratrol supplement of either 300 or 500 mg/day for 3 months saw decreased serum LDL levels, decreased hepatic steatosis, decreased inflammation markers, and improved insulin sensitivity.".”

“Glucose and insulin tolerance did not change with sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. The investigators concluded that consumption of beverages sweetened with fructose and sucrose increased free fatty acid production in the liver.”

“Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, causes fat accumulation in the liver, inflammation, and insulin resistance. It's the most common chronic liver condition among people in the United States, affecting roughly 90 percent of people with obesity, or about 38 percent of the overall population.”

“An isocaloric low-carbohydrate diet given to obese humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease resulted in decreased liver fat, improved lipid metabolism, and reduced inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers after two weeks (pilot study with 10 people).”

“reuteri supplementation reduces hemoglobin A1C and other markers of diabetes. "L. reuteri supplementation significantly reduced insulin resistance, fatty liver, and increased inflammation in rats challenged with a high fructose diet.".”

“During low-dose insulin infusion, MASLD participants showed a greater nighttime rise in free fatty acids in the blood than controls, and this was linked to higher liver fat levels measured by an ultrasound-based test.”
