Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a pathological condition ranging from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis,
cirrhosis, and liver cancer. NAFLD is a complex disease mediated by metabolic, environmental, and genetic mechanisms. Many factors
such as insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, circadian rhythm,
genetics, epigenetics, dietary factors, and gut microbiota play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Lifestyle changes such as
healthy diet, physical activity, avoiding alcohol and smoking are involved in the NAFLD treatment. Dietary bioactive compounds
including curcumin, resveratrol, catechins, quercetin, sulforaphane, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, alkaloids, vitamins, and peptides have
many health promoting effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, chemopreventive, and hepatoprotective. In
this review, the pathophysiology of NAFLD and the effects of dietary bioactive compounds on this disease will be discussed in detail
with updated information.
