Berberine as a Mitochondrial Metabolic Reprogrammer in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): Adaptive Energetic Stress, Quality Control, and Translational Limitations

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, including altered oxidative phosphorylation, disrupted fatty-acid oxidation, redox imbalance, abnormal mitochondrial dynamics, and impaired quality control. Berberine (BBR), a plant-derived isoquinoline alka...
