In fatty liver, in the first stage, insulin resistance is observed at the hepatocytes. There is a reduction in fatty oxidation; increase in fatty acid influx into liver; increased lipogenesis and increased triglycerides. The second stage is lipid peroxidation. So the management should target lipid peroxidation, TNF-alpha, cytokine cascade, reducing the liquid/slimy content (kleda), correcting the metabolism ([[agni]]) etc.

Ayurvedic interventions considerably control the hormones - adiponectin and leptin secreted by adipose tissue. The treatment creates insulin sensitivity and reduces inflammation at adipocyte level. Adiponectin is inversely proportional to obesity. If weight is more, adiponectin level is less and vice versa. However, in people having optimum [[meda]] (meda sara), adiponectin level increases with weight.
