Abstract:

Non?alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease and has posed significant challenges to global public health and medical care. Due to the unclear pathogenesis of NAFLD, lipid accumulation plays a key role in its development. AMPK, as a crucial molecule in lipid metabolism regulation, can improve lipid accumulation caused by NAFLD. This article describes the specific mechanisms of AMPK?related molecules in improving lipid accumulation and treating NAFLD, and lists the current experimental and therapeutic drugs related to AMPK. The potential of AMPK?related drugs in improving lipid accumulation and treating NAFLD is demonstrated, providing ideas and references for future research on AMPK?related drugs for treating NAFLD.

Key words: non?alcoholic fatty liver disease, AMPK, lipid metabolism, clinical treatment
