  • Ferroptosis is a pattern of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by iron dependence and lipid peroxidation. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disease with fat infiltration as its main pathological feature, and it is closely associated with insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility. The mechanism of transition from hepatic steatosis alone to steatohepatitis remains unclear, and studies have shown that ferroptosis in hepatocytes may be the trigger for the inflammatory initiation of steatohepatitis. This article reviews the role of abnormal iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation in promoting the development and progression of NAFLD and summarizes the application prospect of ferroptosis-related inhibitors in the treatment of NAFLD.
