description The investigation of biomarkers for metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) reveals their potential for advancing disease treatment and addressing their notable overlap. The connection between MASH, obesity, and T2DM highlights the need for an integrative management approach addressing mechanisms like insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. Obesity contributes significantly to the development of MASH through lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. Selective biomarker targeting offers a valuable strategy for detecting these comorbidities. Biomarkers such as CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α serve as indicators of inflammation, while HOMA-IR, fasting insulin, and HbA1c are essential for evaluating insulin resistance. Additionally, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL are crucial for comprehending lipid dysregulation. Despite the growing importance of digital biomarkers, challenges in research methodologies and sample variability persist, necessitating further studies to validate diagnostic tools and improve health interventions. Future opportunities include developing non-invasive biomarker panels, using multiomics, and using machine learning to enhance prognoses for diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes.
