Gut dysbiosis-related intestinal barrier dysfunction with increased translocation of bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into systemic circulation is emerging as pathogenic factor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Experimental and clinical studies suggested a potential role of LPS as a trigger eliciting in situ liver inflammation upon interaction with its receptor toll-like receptor 4. Also, LPS has been reported to prime platelets to respond to the common agonists indicating that it behaves as a prothrombotic molecule. Of note, recent studies suggested platelet-related intrahepatic thrombosis triggered by LPS as a mechanism implicated in the process of liver inflammation. This review describes: 1) the impact of gut barrier dysfunction and endotoxemia in the process of NAFLD; 2) the relationship between endotoxemia and platelet activation in NAFLD; 3) clinical evidence for the use of antiplatelet drugs in NAFLD/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients; and 4) the potential therapeutic approach to modulate endotoxemia and eventually platelet activation.
