Sugars and Liver Fat Accumulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose of review To summarize recent findings that have examined dietary, genetic and gene–diet interactions that contribute to fat accumulation in the liver during growth and development, with particular focus on contributions relating to dietary carbohydrate and sugar consumption. In addition, this review highlights how some of these contributions to liver fat vary across the population in terms of ethnic-specific effects.

Central obesity as a clinical marker of adiposopathy; increased visceral adiposity as a surrogate marker for global fat dysfunction
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is often described as 'protective'. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is often described as 'pathologic'. However, both SAT and VAT have protective and pathologic potential, with interdependent biologic functions. RECENT FINDINGS Most of the body's (excess) energy is stored as fat in SAT. If during positive caloric balance, SAT does not undergo ...
متن کاملConference on ‘Carbohydrates in health: friends or foes’ Symposium 2: New perspectives on carbohydrates and health Relevance of liver fat to the impact of dietary extrinsic sugars on lipid metabolism
In contrast to the decline in mortality from many non-infectious, chronic diseases in the UK, death from liver disease has increased exponentially in men and women over the past 40 years. This is primarily because of the over consumption of alcohol, but also the increased prevalence of obesity, which is linked to early pathology through the accumulation of liver fat. Supra-physiological intakes...

Background. The accumulation of excess triglyceride in the liver and a decrease in brown adipose tissue is related to the fatty liver disease. Regular physical activity can take part in regulating fat oxidation and inhibiting fat accumulation by creating and releasing some myokines. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of each training method in this regard is still not certain. Objective(s). This ...

Objective: Persian leek is one of the most widely used herbal foods among Iranians. In this study, effects of oral administration of Persian leek on plasma and liver lipids were examined in hamster. Materials and Methods: Male Syrian hamsters were randomly divided into three groups: control (standard diet), high fat control (high-fat/high-cholesterol diet), Persian leek (high-fat/high-cholester...
