Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) represents a growing health concern worldwide. Among the pursuit of therapeutic interventions, interest in natural bioactive compounds has intensified because of their potential hepatoprotective effects.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of plant-derived hydrolysates and peptides on MAFLD through the current literatures, encompassing their mechanisms of action. Key outcomes evaluated included changes in liver enzymes, liver lipid content, inflammation markers, and histopathological improvements.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Preliminary findings suggest a potential beneficial effect of plant-derived hydrolysates and peptides on the improvement of MAFLD-related parameters, with mechanisms implicating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering properties. This review highlights emerging evidence supporting the potential therapeutic role of plant-derived hydrolysates and peptides in the management of MAFLD. However, more well-designed clinical trials with larger sample sizes and longer durations are warranted to elucidate their efficacy, optimal dose, and long-term safety.
