Abstract
Cigarette smoking is considered a risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In a study recently published in Nature, Chen et al. unveiled a mechanistic role of nicotine in NAFLD progression. In addition, they identified a gut bacterium Bacteroides xylanisolvens that can reduce intestinal nicotine levels, and thus improve nicotine-induced NAFLD phenotypes in mice.
