Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is one of the most prevalent liver disease. NAFLD is increasing in parallel with the worldwide epidemic of obesity. NAFLD may progress from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. Several evidences suggest that multiple mechanisms including insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, and genetic factors interact to initiate the development of NAFLD. Despite that there is currently no approved drug therapy for NAFLD, many approaches consider to be beneficial. Insulin sensitizers, antioxidants, antilipidemic drugs and antiinflammatory agents showed promising effects. This paper is focused on the currently treatments for NAFLD.
