Abstract | Purpose of review: Obesity is closely associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a highly prevalent disease without any approved medication. The aim of this review was to summarize the evidence on the effect of anti-obesity medications on NAFLD, especially focusing on hepatic histology. Recent findings: Orlistat and some glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor analogs, including liraglutide and semaglutide, have beneficial effects on hepatic steatosis and inflammation, but not fibrosis. Other anti-obesity medications, including lorcaserin, setmelanotide, phentermine hydrochloric, phentermine/topiramate, and naltrexone/bupropion, have been minimally investigated in NAFLD. Furthermore, medications like sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and farnesoid X receptor have shown beneficial effects in both NAFLD and obesity, but they have not been licensed for either disease. Liraglutide, semaglutide, and orlistat may be currently used in selected patients with obesity and NAFLD. Further research is warranted, since targeting obesity may provide additional benefits on its comorbidities, including NAFLD. |
