Abstract: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH),with pathological characteristics of hepatic steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation, reflects the chronic liver disases induced by metabolic stress. Here, we summarize the regulatory effect of gut microbia-derived butyrate on the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) metabolic phenotype of hepatic mononuclear phagocyte system through HDAC/12/15-LOX/maresin signaling. Its role in NASH amelioration is further reviewed on the basis of proinflammatory mediators/maresins rebalancing and spontaneous resolution of inflammation.
