Dietary Influences on Gut Microbiota and Their Role in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)

This review explores how dietary patterns affect gut microbiota and contribute to the development of MASLD. Diets like the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets improve gut microbial composition and reduce liver inflammation. Conversely, Western diets promote dysbiosis, increasing liver fat accumulation and inflammation. Understanding the gut-liver axis highlights opportunities for targeted dietary interventions to prevent and manage MASLD.
