Congenital steatosis of the liver: biochemical approach to its pathogenesis.

The effect of probiotic consumption and intense intermittent exercise on the level of liver enzymes in male rats with steatosis

Background and Aims:Fatty liver is one of the increasing diseases in Iran and the world, and for this reason, it is necessary and useful to find a solution to treat or prevent its progress.Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of probiotic consumption and intense intermittent exercise on liver enzymes in male rats with steatosis.Research method:In this experimental stud...

Prevalence of hepatic steatosis and associated factors in Iranian patients with chronic hepatitis C

Background: Hepatic steatosis is commonly observed in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Many studies indicate a relationship between steatosis and fibrosis progression. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of hepatic steatosis and related factors in Iranian CHC patients.   Methods: One hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with CHC were enrolled which were treat...

The effect of Nitrochalcone on biochemical indicators and PPAR-α gene expression in nonalcoholic male NMRI mice steatosis model

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and decrease in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α) expression. Nitrochalcone is effective ingredient of chalcones with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-hyperglycemic properties. This study examined the effect of intraperitoneal (IP) administration of nitrochal...
