[0002] Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a link in the development process of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and has pathological characteristics such as liver steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning and lobular inflammatory infiltration. At present, the global prevalence rate of NASH is 1.5% to 6.4%, and if no drug intervention is made, NASH will further develop into liver fibrosis or cirrhosis (which may need liver transplantation), portal hypertension, liver cancer or death in some patients. Its pathogenesis is extremely complex, and in recent years, researchers tend to believe that its pathogenesis belongs to “multiple parallel attacks”, that is, under the combined action of multiple pathogenic factors such as insulin resistance, lipid accumulation, adipose tissue dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, immune response, bile acid, intestinal flora, dietary factors and genetic and epigenetic factors, NAFLD is caused, and thyroid hormone receptor-β (THR-β) is responsible for regulating the metabolic pathway of the liver, and the liver thyroid hormone activity of patients with NASH is reduced, thereby causing impaired liver function.
