GPT and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: - Reduced gut fungal richness in NAFLD patients is correlated with higher ALT and AST levels, more severe liver inflammation, and lower HDL-C levels (Demir et al., 2022).- Yeast species, including Candida albicans, promote triglyceride production in patients with NASH (Mbaye et al., 2022).- Candida albicans may lead to liver inflammation, but some studies suggest it has a beneficial role in lipid metabolism (Mbaye et al., 2022, 2022; Peroumal et al., 2022; Macias-Paz et al., 2023).
