    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent chronic liver disease linked to systemic metabolic disorders.

  • 2

    MASLD encompasses conditions from simple fatty liver to severe outcomes like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • 3

    Mitochondrial dynamics, involving fusion and fission, are crucial for mitochondrial function and play a significant role in MASLD pathogenesis.

  • 4

    Disruptions in mitochondrial dynamics contribute to the progression of MASLD, highlighting the need for effective therapeutic strategies.

  • 5

    Research into mitochondrial quality control mechanisms may provide novel insights for preventing and treating MASLD.
