Abstract:Background: Metabolic diseases that include obesity and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are a rapidly growing worldwide public health problem with unmet clinical need. The pathogenesis of MAFLD is very complex including abnormally increased lipogenesis, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. A growing body of evidence suggests that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important player in the liver, impacting lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function. However, direct d… Show more
