Abstract in brief

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly common worldwide and is linked to metabolic issues like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, with current treatments mainly focusing on lifestyle changes.
Since there are no specific drugs for NAFLD yet, research is exploring how epigenetics—heritable changes in gene activity influenced by environmental factors—can help understand and target the disease.
The review suggests that by studying epigenetic modifications, scientists can develop new therapies that respond to environmental cues and potentially prevent or treat NAFLD more effectively through drugs that manipulate these epigenetic changes.
