Exercise training prevents the development of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis by suppressing chronic inflammation and downregulating scavenger receptors in Kupffer cells.
If you have fatty liver, exercise is a primary treatment to reduce liver inflammation and scarring, working alongside dietary changes.

In a mouse model of NASH, exercise training prevented NASH development by suppressing chronic inflammation through a reduction in the downregulation of scavenger receptors

- Regular exercise training suppresses chronic systemic inflammation by inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells (neutrophils and M1 macrophages) into adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, thereby preventing tissue fibrosis and organ dysfunction associated with obesity and aging.Good
- A Ketogenic Diet (KD) enhances endurance exercise capacity and prevents muscle injury during exhaustive exercise by altering lipid metabolism and IL-6 synthesis, though it may increase intramuscular oxidative stress.Moderate
