Hokkaido University Researcher Adds New Study Findings to Research in Fatty Liver (Kaempferol Improves Cardiolipin and ATP in Hepatic Cells: A Cellular Model Perspective in the Context of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease).

A new study conducted by researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan has found that kaempferol, a natural flavonoid, may have potential benefits for individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as fatty liver disease. The study focused on the effects of kaempferol on mitochondrial function and cardiolipin (CL) metabolism in a fatty liver cell model. The results showed that kaempferol improved mitochondrial respiratory functions, increased ATP production, and promoted energy production in the fatty liver cell model. These findings suggest that kaempferol could be a potential nutritional factor in preventing MASLD. [Extracted from the article]
