NLRP3 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: The study identified that the saponin extract is rich in ginsenosides Rh1 and Rg2—compounds that exert protective effects against NAFLD by inhibiting the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, promoting mitophagy, and decreasing mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production.
