Non Communicable Disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic non-communicable disease, with a prevalence of 25% worldwide. This pathology is a multifactorial illness, and is associated with different risks factors, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Beside these predisposing features, NAFLD has been related to changes in the microbiota, which favor the disease progression. In this context, the modulation of the gut microbiota has emerged as a new therapeutic target for the prophylaxis and treatment of NAFLD. This review describes the changes in the gut microbiota associated with NAFLD and the effect of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on the gut microbiota, liver damage, anthropometric parameters, blood lipids, inflammation markers and insulin resistance in these patients.

Abstract Background : We investigated the gut microbiota in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its correlation with fibrosis and steatosis as reflected in the controlled attenuation parameter and transient elastography valuesMethods : A cross-sectional study was performed on 37 patients with NAFLD at Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital from December 2018 to March 2019. The gut microbiota was investigated in fecal samples with 16S RNA sequencing using the next-generation sequencing platform MiSeq (Illumina).Results : NAFLD was more common in patients with metabolic syndrome. Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla. Bacteroides was more dominant than Prevotella, contrary to the results in previous studies on normal populations in Indonesia. Microbiota dysbiosis was observed in most samples. The gastrointestinal microbiota diversity was significantly decreased in patients with NAFLD with high triglyceride levels and central obesity. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio correlated with steatosis and obesity, whereas some other species in the lower taxonomy were mostly correlated with steatosis and obesity without fibrosis. Proteobacteria is the only phylum strongly correlated with fibrosis in patients with normal body mass index.Conclusions : The gut microbiota diversity was decreased in patients with NAFLD with high triglyceride levels and central obesity, and certain gut microbes were correlated with fibrosis and steatosis.

Abstract Background An increasing number of studies suggest that gut microbiota composition and structure contribute to the pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and the gut microbiota has been proposed as a new target in the treatment of diet-induced NAFLD. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of pure total flavonoids from citrus (PTFC) on NAFLD and gut microbiota dysbiosis in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice and to further investigate whether the attenuation of NAFLD is related to the modulation of the gut microbiota. Results PTFC intervention could significantly attenuate symptoms in mice with HFD-induced NAFLD.Based on the results of 16S rDNA sequencing, PTFC treatment could increase the phylogenetic diversity of the HFD-induced microbiota. PTFC intervention could significantly restore the HFD-induced increases in the relative abundances of Bacteroidaceae and Christensenellaceae. Conclusion Our results suggested that PTFC could serve as a novel candidate for the prevention of NAFLD by modulating the gut microbiota.
