Statins, Aging, and Liver Health: Unraveling Age and Sex Influence on Transcriptomic Responses in MASLD

Highlight

  • Statin therapy in MASLD patients significantly lowers serum liver enzymes and LDL cholesterol, especially in older adults.
  • Transcriptomic analyses reveal statin-associated suppression of cellular senescence pathways and activation of ferroptosis-linked pathways in the liver.
  • Age and sex influence liver transcriptomic responses to statins, suggesting differential regulation of liver aging during systemic metabolic dysfunction.
  • Statins may act as senolytic agents, offering protection against biological liver aging and highlighting complex roles of senescence in liver remodeling.
