This is probably one of the main reasons for the protective effects of coconut oil on liver health in conditions like NAFLD and cirrhosis.

So, As per Ray's suggestion and below studies, coconut oil would be a great tool to reverse conditions involving excess fat accumulation in liver since the uncoupling will melt that fat away.
