Immune and inflammatory pathways have a central role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Both the innate and adaptive immune systems contribute to the
development of NAFLD. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns and danger-associated
molecular patterns are known to activate a variety of pattern-recognition receptors that result
in inflammation. The key features of the immune system and inflammatory pathways in the
development of NAFLD are discussed in this review.
