Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease affecting up to 45% of the adult population and 15% of children and adolescents. A growing body of evidence suggests that NAFLD is triggered and driven by dysbiosis of the gut microbiota caused by diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
This podcast investigates the link between the gut microbiome and the liver, with specific reference to NAFLD. It discusses the major factors that induce dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and disrupt intestinal permeability and possible mechanisms leading to NAFLD development. The latest research for therapeutic strategies targeting the gut microbiota for NAFLD is discussed.
This podcast offers clinicians practical and evidence-based therapeutic strategies for NAFLD, from dietary interventions to pre and probiotic supplementation.
