Summary

This study looks at whether gut bacteria in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD) produce certain chemicals that may harm the liver. Researchers will collect stool samples from 24 adults (patients and healthy volunteers) and grow the bacteria in the lab to measure these chemicals. The goal is to better understand how gut microbes contribute to liver disease, which could lead to new treatments.
