We investigated perioperative dynamics of circulating metabolites and plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and GLP-2, in patients undergoing liver resections, exploring their associations with the histological phenotype of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Eighty-one and 75 patients from two centers between 2012 and 2023 were studied.
