Nutrients as epigenetic modulators in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

Figure 1 Epigenetic modifications induced by environmental factors in the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Environmental signals such as diet and personal habits can promote changes in the microenvironment, which destabilizes homeostasis and may cause epigenetic modifications. DNA methylation, histone modification and microRNA-induced mRNA degradation are some of the examples of epigenetic modification that promote the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
