Interplay between intestinal permeability and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Could there be a role for extra virgin olive oil consumption?

Figure 2 The gut-liver axis, a bidirectional “metabolic” cooperation through bile acids, hormones, and products of digestion and absorption, includes interactions between diet, genetic, and environmental factors, which, if altered, can contribute to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. TJs: Tight junctions; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide; MASLD: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; SCFAs: Short-chain fatty acids.
