Abstract:Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common chronic hepatopathy. With the increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome among other diseases, the incidence of NASH continues to rise. The pathogenesis of NASH is complex and has not been fully elucidated. Currently, the relevance of genetic susceptibility, endoplasmic reticulum stress and gut microbiota with the pathogenesis of NASH represents a hot topic in the research field. Thus, this review summarizes the latest studies on the pathogenesis of NASH from these three aspects, aiming to provide a reference for studies on the pathogenesis and novel drug targets of NASH.
