The effects of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on MASLD: a Mendelian randomization analysis and in vivo experiment.

Background: Excessive intake of fatty acids is a key factor contributing to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the effects of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) on the development of MASLD are uncertain. Therefore, we conducted two-s...

      ab: Background: Excessive intake of fatty acids is a key factor contributing to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the effects of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) on the development of MASLD are uncertain. Therefore, we conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization studies and animal experiments to explore the effects of SFA, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on the risk of developing MASLD. Methods: The genetic summary data of exposures and outcome were retrieved from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and used for five Mendelian randomization methods. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis was performed to verify the robustness of the results. Mice were subjected to different diets followed by assessment of severity of steatosis based on a histological score and determination of hepatic triglyceride levels to investigate the relationships between SFA, MUFA, PUFA and MASLD. Results: The Mendelian randomization results showed that MUFA (odds ratio: 1.441, 95% confidence interval: 1.078–1.927, P = 0.014) was causally associated with the incidence of MASLD. SFA and PUFA were not causally associated with the incidence of MASLD. Sensitivity analysis did not identify any significant bias in the results. The animal experiment results showed that a MUFA-enriched diet significantly contributed to the development of hepatic steatosis (P < 0.001). Conclusion: SFA and PUFA did not have a significant causal effect on MASLD, but MUFA intake is a risk factor for MASLD. A MUFA-enriched diet increased the incidence of macrovesicular steatosis and the hepatic triglyceride levels. Therefore, replacing MUFA intake with a moderate intake of PUFA might help reduce the risk of MASLD.
