ABSTRACT
Nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) is a chronic epidemic disease characterized by liver steatosis which is driven by metabolic disorders. The prevalence of NAFLD increases annually and there are currently no available therapies. Statins can modulate lipid metabolism, and reduce systemic inflammation and liver fibrosis, which are thought to improve NAFLD and metabolic disorders. However, the mechanism has not yet been clarified, and benefits of statin therapy remain controversial. In this paper, we reviewed the mechanisms, benefits and risks of statin therapy for NAFLD.
