Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease closely related to metabolic dysfunction such as insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Managing NAFLD has focused on lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet. Nutrition is an important and modifiable risk factor that plays a crucial role in the prevention or delaying of the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Reducing total calorie consumption and modification of macronutrients composition can help prevent and treat NAFLD. However, the roles of macronutrition and micronutrition on the prevention and development of NAFLD are still unclear. Additionally, numerous functional food products are known to be helpful to liver function.
The present Special Issue aims to gather the latest findings on (1) the role of macronutrients, (2) the role of micronutrients, (3) dietary pattern, and (4) functional food with regard to the health status and/or the risk of NAFLD.
Authors are invited to submit relevant original contributions, review articles, or systematic reviews for consideration for inclusion in this Special Issue.
