Abstract:
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease closely related to metabolic disorders. Currently, the effective pharmacological treatments are scarce. In recent years, time-restricted eating (TRE), as an emerging dietary intervention strategy, has been shown in studies to have significant preventive and therapeutic potential for diseases related to metabolic dysfunction. However, the effects of TRE on MAFLD and the underlying mechanisms remain not fully elucidated. This review briefly summarizes the present research progress of this field in terms of the effects, improvement, and mechanistic role of TRE on MAFLD.
