Researchers say semaglutide may help reverse MASH, a progressive liver condition affecting millions of Americans.

Nearly twice as many people taking semaglutide stopped their fatty liver disease without further scarring of the organ, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.

Currently, there is only one U.S. government-approved treatment available for fatty liver disease, Rezdiffra (resmetirom), researchers said. It works by activating a thyroid hormone receptor that promotes reduction of fat buildup in the liver.
