Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the main causes of chronic liver diseases worldwide and is closely associated with metabolic syndrome. In-depth studies on the pathogenesis of NAFLD in recent years have shown that autophagy is a highly conservative process in eukaryotes and plays an important role in the progression of NAFLD, and therefore, it is expected to become a new target for the treatment of NAFLD. This article reviews the research advances in autophagy-related signal molecules in NAFLD, in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of NAFLD.
