Abstract
Research on G protein-coupled receptor 75 (GPR75) in metabolic dysfunction-related steatosis liver disease (MASLD) reveals its potential role in regulating body weight and energy balance. Loss-of-function mutations in the GPR75 gene are significantly associated with lower body mass index and reduced body weight. Studies demonstrate that GPR75 knockout mice exhibit lower fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose homeostasis, and significant prevention of high-fat diet-induced MASLD. The absence of GPR75 reduces fat accumulation by beneficially altering energy balance rather than restricting adipose tissue expansion. Moreover, female GPR75 knockout mice show greater protection against lipid accumulation on a high-fat diet compared to males, potentially attributed to higher physical activity and energy expenditure. However, current research primarily relies on mouse models, and its applicability to humans requires further validation. Future studies should explore the role of GPR75 across diverse populations, its clinical potential, and delve into its specific mechanisms and interactions with other metabolic pathways. Ultimately, targeted therapies based on GPR75 could offer novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of MASLD and other metabolic disorders.
