Low Short-Chain-Fatty-Acid-Producing Activity of the Gut Microbiota Is Associated with Hypercholesterolemia and Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Metabolic-Associated (Non-Alcoholic) Fatty Liver Disease

The aim of this study was to investigate the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) activity of the gut microbiota of patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
