Abstract
Purpose of review: The term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) refers to a group of progressive steatotic liver conditions that include metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which has varying degrees of liver fibrosis and may advance to cirrhosis, and independent hepatic steatosis. MASLD has a complex underlying mechanism, with patients exhibiting diverse causes and phases of the disease. India has a pool prevalence of MASLD of 38.6% in adults. In 2023, the term NAFLD has been redefined and changed to MASLD. Currently, there are no drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of MASLD. This study investigates the potential of bioactive phytoconstituents present in spices as a therapeutic approach for MASLD. Moreover, it offers comprehensive data on several pre-clinical studies of bioactive phytoconstituents derived from spices that primarily focus on treating obesity-associated MASLD.
Recent findings: Spices include a high amount of bioactive chemicals and several research have indicated their diverse pharmacological activities. Bioactive phytoconstituents from common Indian spices like cinnamic acid, eugenol, curcumin, allicin, 6-gingerols, capsaicin, piperine, eucalyptol, trigonelline, and linalool have been reported to exhibit anti-MASLD effects both in-vivo and in-vitro. Bioactive phytoconstituents from different culinary species of India have shown promising potential against MASLD in pre-clinical status. Further clinical studies on a large scale would be beneficial for paving the path to the development of a new drug which is the need of time.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
