Effets des médicaments antidiabétiques sur la stéatopathie métabolique (MAFLD).

Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic complication among patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, associated with bad prognosis. Classical antidiabetics have little effects on this complication, except pioglitazone that exerts a positive impact but with uncertain safety. Gliptins are almost neutral, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists showed benefits, the most potent ones being those associated with a greater weight loss such as liraglutide or semaglutide. Gliflozins also reduce hepatic fat content and liver enzymes used as biomarkers of steatosis. However, histological data remain scarce, especially those focusing on inflammation and fibrosis, and direct comparative data between available therapies are still lacking.
