Can ammonia scavenging treat MASLD? Evaluating the evidence for L‐ornithine L‐aspartate—A systematic review
Preclinical evidence suggests that LOLA exerts pleiotropic hepatoprotective effects in MASLD by targeting hyperammonemia-induced fibrosis and metabolic dysregulation. While growing clinical data indicate benefits in biochemical normalization, structural improvement and symptom relief, further robust clinical research is required to validate these findings and establish LOLA as a standard therapeutic option for MASLD patients.
