Background: Metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), the leading cause of chronic liver disease, is defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis and metabolic risk factors. Both testosterone and estradiol seem to have a pivotal role in hepatic lipid homeostasis, although underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Low testosterone serum levels result independently associated with MAFLD, but no studies so far evaluated MAFLD prevalence and severity in hypogona...

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is defined by the presence of hepatic steatosis and metabolic risk factors. Both testosterone and estradiol play pivotal roles in hepatic lipid homeostasis, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Low serum testosterone levels are independently associated with MASLD. However, no studies have previously evaluated the prevalence and severity of MASLD in hypogonadal men. <p class="abstext"...
