Implication

Systematic review demonstrates that inulin mitigates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by restoring gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity, highlighting prebiotic therapeutic strategies.

Key Points

To systematically summarize the biological mechanisms through which dietary inulin regulates the gut microbiota and metabolic pathways to mitigate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Conducted a systematic literature review evaluating the therapeutic mechanisms of inulin on NAFLD progression.
Synthesized evidence concerning gut-liver axis interactions, microbial metabolite generation, and hepatic inflammatory signaling.
Inulin fermentation by colonic bacteria generates bioactive metabolites that directly restore damaged intestinal barrier function.
Prebiotic intake reshapes gut microbiota composition and corrects dysbiosis, reducing hepatic steatosis and systemic inflammation along the gut-liver axis.
