Introduction:: Hepatic steatosis is a frequent condition, that afflicts, especially, obese and insulin resistant patients; diagnosis is made, usually, through imaging tests. Despite the high prevalence and risk of complications, there is no specific treatment approved, though a vast number of medications have been tested. Objective:: To determine the efficacy of dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (i DPP-IV) in the treatment of NAFLD. Methods:: We searched the electronic databases of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS, as well as reference lists of the included studies and grey literature; 9 studies were selected for inclusion. Results:: 7 studies were used for metanalysis, for 3 outcomes. i DPP-IV showed an ALT-reducing power of MD -10.83 [95% CI 35.23 to 13.57] at 3 months and MD -9.27 [95% CI 10.92 to -7.62] at 6 months of intervention, as well as reduction of hepatic steatosis via MRI of SMD 0.10 [95% CI 0.31 to 0.50]; the overall incidence of adverse events was very low. The studies were considered of low and very low quality by the GRADE evaluation. Conclusion:: Because of the poor overall quality of the studies and heterogeneity of the population analyzed, i DPP-IV did not show efficacy on inflammatory markers or fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.
