Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese adults: clinical aspects and current management strategies

TL;DR: The diagnosis of primary NAFLD involves establishing the presence of hepatic steatosis or steatohepatitis by imaging or histology, along with establishing the non‐alcoholic nature of the disease process and excluding competing aetiologies for hepatic Steatosis.

Role of Bile Acids in Dysbiosis and Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: Early evidence has suggested the potential of bile acid receptor agonists in NAFLD management, but their long-term safety and effectiveness need further clarification.

Obeticholic acid for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

TL;DR: OCA likely improves fibrosis in NASH and therefore may have a beneficial effect in delaying or even preventing cirrhosis, and is likely to become an option for treatment, but the specific context within which it may be prescribed still needs to be clarified.

Fibroblast growth factor 15 functions as an enterohepatic signal to regulate bile acid homeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor 15 signals from intestine to liver to repress the gene encoding cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), which catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the classical bile acid synthetic pathway.
