AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of imeglimin in improving liver function and fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) complicated by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a multicentre study involving 80 patients with T2D and MASLD who were treated with or without imeglimin for 24 weeks. We assessed the changes in diabetes-related parameters, including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, glycoalbumin and C-peptide index. Liver function was monitored using AST, ALT, γ-GTP and liver fibrosis indicators such as Fib-4 index and FibroScan-AST (FAST) score. Liver fat content and stiffness were measured using controlled attenuation parameter and vibration-controlled transient elastography, which were measured using FibroScan.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, imeglimin treatment led to a significant reduction in HbA1c levels, fasting blood glucose and liver-related parameters, including AST, ALT and γ-GTP. Additionally, the Fib-4 index and FAST score, which reflect liver fibrosis and inflammation, were significantly lower in the imeglimin group. Liver fat content and stiffness remained unchanged during the study period.
CONCLUSIONS: Imeglimin efficaciously improved liver inflammation and fibrosis in patients with T2D and MASLD, with no significant changes in liver fat content or stiffness. These findings suggest that imeglimin is a promising therapeutic drug for the management of MASLD in the context of T2D, warranting further research on its long-term efficacy and mechanisms of action.
