Healthy diet intervention reverses the progression of NASH through gut microbiota modulation.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to determine the role of a healthy diet in preventing and treating NASH by addressing obesity, lipidemia, and gut microbiota dysbiosis, and to explore the potential benefits of supplementing with ginger essential oil or obeticholic acid.
Results Summary
The study found that a healthy diet can reverse obesity, lipidemia, and gut microbiota dysbiosis in NASH, and that supplementation with functional foods or drugs may further inhibit hepatic inflammation by modulating inflammasome and gut microbiota signaling pathways. However, further clinical studies are needed to validate these findings.

The link between gut microbiota and diet is crucial in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study underscores the essential role of a healthy diet in preventing and treating NASH by reversing obesity, lipidemia, and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Moreover, the supplementation of functional food or drug to the diet can provide additional advantages by inhibiting hepatic inflammation through the modulation of the hepatic inflammasome signaling pathway and partially mediating the gut microbiota and lipopolysaccharide signaling pathway. This study highlights the importance of adopting healthy dietary habits in treating NASH and proposes that supplementing with ginger essential oil or obeticholic acid may offer additional benefits. Nonetheless, further clinical studies are necessary to validate these findings.
