Core Tip
Core Tip: This article comments on the work by Soresi and Giannitrapani concerning glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists as potentially useful drugs to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The integration of dietary changes and regular physical exercise into treatment may improve patient outcomes. These lifestyle adjustments may reduce the reliance on pharmacological interventions and/or increase the effectiveness of existing treatments. Therefore, lifestyle factors should not be overlooked in the broader strategy to manage metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, since they complement medical therapies.
