Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most important liver diseases worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect in the treatment of NAFLD, possibly by improving lipid metabolism, reducing liver inflammation, regulating intestinal flora, improving innate immunity, and reducing liver fibrosis. This article summarizes the current data on the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of NALFD, so as to provide a reference for clinical application.
