As obesity and metabolic diseases fuel a global surge in metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) cases, many physicians remain unfamiliar with the burden of disease and its underlying pathophysiology. In this symposium, expert faculty will illuminate the key pathophysiologic drivers behind MASLD/MASH, such as dysregulated lipid metabolism, impaired insulin sensitivity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory fibrotic processes. Faculty will review key clinical data of emerging therapies poised to alter the treatment landscape for MASH, including incretins, peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) analogues, and thyroid hormone receptor-β (THR-β) agonists, and how these novel agents may be incorporated into comprehensive MASH treatment strategies.
