Core Tip
Core Tip: The gut-liver axis is integral in the progression of various diseases, with key metabolites like lipopolysaccharides, short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, immune factors, inflammatory cytokines, and beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus playing pivotal roles. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) contribute to substantial weight loss, enhance insulin secretion, reduce appetite, and improve liver health by restoring gut-liver axis functionality. Dietary modifications can amplify these benefits, while gut microbiome-targeted therapies may offer additional advantages in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Future multi-omics research will underscore the importance of personalized GLP-1 RAs treatment considering gut microbiota effects, with prebiotics and probiotics potentially improving liver health via the gut microbiota.
