While dapagliflozin and metformin are established treatments for metabolic disorders, comprehensive comparisons of their individual versus combined effects in MAFLD patients remain limited. This study evaluated the differential effects of dapagliflozin-metformin combination therapy compared to monotherapy on glycemic control, lipid profile, and metabolic syndrome components in patients with ultrasound-diagnosed MAFLD.

This occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin at all, or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
