Differential effects of low or high-fat dairy and fat derived from dairy products on MASLD.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is strongly related to nutrition. However, only a few human and animal studies have tested the association between MASLD and dairy consumption and the effect of milk fat on liver damage. Therefore, we aimed at testing the association between consumption of dairy product and the incidence of MASLD and fibrosis markers in humans, and the effect of milk fat vs. other fats on MASLD in animal studies.

Methods

A prospective 7-year follow-up cohort study was performed including baseline and follow-up fasting blood tests, liver evaluation and a face-to-face interview on health status and behaviour using structured questionnaires. MASLD was determined by ultrasonography or by controlled attenuat
