Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Belgrade focused on the relationship between fatty acids in the plasma and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study found that MASLD patients had lower levels of total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and linoleic acid (LA) in their plasma compared to healthy individuals. These decreased levels of n-6 PUFAs were associated with higher odds of MASLD. The findings suggest that an altered distribution of fatty acids in the circulatory system, particularly a reduced amount of n-6 PUFAs, may have implications for the prevention and treatment of MASLD.
