insulin resistance and related factors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld): an analytic cross-sectional study

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease in Western countries in which men and women are affected equally (de Alwis and Day 2008; Willner et al. 2001). The prevalence and severity of NAFLD increase with obesity (Flegal et al. 1998 & 2003). Since obesity is known to have a genetic etiology, we propose that genetic factors influence susceptibility...

Alcoholic Hepatitis, Alcoholic Cirrhosis & Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Activation of proteinase 3 contributes to Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance.

Activation of inflammatory pathways is known to accompany development of obesity-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In addition to caspase-1, the neutrophil serine proteases proteinase 3, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G are able to process the inactive pro-inflammatory mediators IL-1β and IL-18 to their bioactive forms, thereby regulat...

Prevalence of gallstone disease in the patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Sanandaj: A case control study

Background and Aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gallstone disease (GD) are both highly prevalent in the general population and have many risk factors in common. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of GD in the patients with NAFLD. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, our case group included 145 patients with NAFLD and control group consisted of 21...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an entity now recognized as one of the leading causes of asymptomatic chronic elevation of aminotransferase levels, which can, however, progress to more advanced forms of hepatic lesion and ultimately to liver failure. Insulin resistance is considered as having a central role in NAFLD pathogenesis, which is related with oxidative stress, abnormal pro...
