About this study

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a chronic progressive liver disease caused by nutrient excess and insulin resistance (IR) in genetically susceptible individuals. With the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, the morbidity and incidence of MAFLD have been increasing globally, particularly in China. MAFLD and metabolic syndrome as well as type 2 diabetes are mutually causal, jointly promoting the incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, liver decompensation, and malignant tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. MAFLD has become an increasingly severe public health issue in China. Effective clinical interventions for MAFLD patients are of great public health significance for the prevention of terminal diseases. Cynara scolymus, silybum marianum, curcuma longa, and glycyrrhiza glabra are traditional Chinese medicinal herbs that have demonstrated significant effectiveness in improving metabolic diseases. Cynara scolymus contains polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenes, and other substances, possessing antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, antihypertensive, and kidney-tonifying properties. Silybum marianum belongs to the Compositae family and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, soothing the liver, and promoting bile flow. The active ingredient of silybum marianum is silymarin, a flavonoid compound, which has antioxidant and anti-hepatic fibrotic effects, protecting hepatocytes from damage by free…
