Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a group of metabolic liver illnesses that lead to accumulation of liver fat mainly due to excessive nutrition. It is closely related to insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and has become one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. At present, there is no specific drug for the treatment of NAFLD; lifestyle interventions including dietary control and exercise are recommended as routine treatments. As a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors may also play a beneficial role in the treatment of NAFLD. This article reviews the mechanism of SGLT-2 inhibitors in the treatment of NAFLD.
非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)是一组代谢性肝病,主要由于营养过剩导致肝脏脂肪堆积。它与胰岛素抵抗、肥胖、2 型糖尿病和心血管疾病密切相关,已成为全球慢性肝病的主要病因之一。目前,尚无针对 NAFLD 的特效药物;推荐包括饮食控制和运动在内的生活方式干预作为常规治疗。作为治疗 2 型糖尿病的药物,钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2(SGLT-2)抑制剂可能在治疗 NAFLD 方面也发挥有益作用。本文就 SGLT-2 抑制剂治疗 NAFLD 的作用机制进行综述。
