Abstract:
Gut microecology plays an important role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. With reference to the research on traditional Chinese medicine in regulating gut microecology and treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, this article systematically elaborates on the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with intestinal flora, gut bacterial metabolites, and gut barrier function and points out that the regulation of gut microecology and the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis are important measures for traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
