Undernutrition and obesity are at opposite ends of a spectrum that has an enormous impact on all aspects of liver diseases. The myriad effects of the opposing ends of the nutrition spectrum have led to a wealth of research aimed at elucidating the exact mechanisms of how they cause liver damage. In this article, the role of the liver in nutrient and energy metabolism is discussed, as well as the known and possible effects of specific nutrient deficiencies and obesity.
