At present, the highly recognized pathogenic mechanism is a multiple hit hypothesis, which considers the combined effects of multiple insults on genetically susceptible subjects to induce NAFLD and provides a reasonable explanation for the development of NAFLD (47)
The use of nalbuphine, a blocker of - and -opioid receptors, also disrupted the effect of GLP-1RAs on reducing TNF- levels, highlighting the essential role of these opioid receptors in the anti-inflammatory effects mediated by GLP-1RAs.423 Furthermore, the study emphasized that neurons in specific brain regions, such as the hindbrain and hypothalamus, co-express GLP-1R along with 1-adrenergic and -opioid receptors, suggesting a localized mechanism within the CNS that could coordinate peripheral anti-inflammatory responses

In another study from the same laboratory, Babar et al., developed silymarin loaded nanostructured lipid carrier for the treatment of skin cancer
