BACKGROUND Although non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, its influence on hypertension development is poorly understood. We investigated whether fatty liver disease, as assessed by the fatty liver index, could predict the development of hypertension independently of systemic insulin resistance, inflammatory status and adipokine levels. METHODS ...

background: some evidence, not in large study populations, suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and metabolic syndrome (mets) share common interactions. we aimed to determine the prevalence of nafld and mets in a large population registered to kavar cohort study center. we also assessed the role of each component of mets in nafld existence. methods: data were obtained from 341...

conclusions according to the results of this meta-analysis, there was a high risk of nafld in women with pcos. we suggest evaluating patients with pcos regarding nafld. results we finally included seven eligible studies. according to chi-squared test, there was a significant heterogeneity (73.6%) between studies (p = 0.001). nafld prevalence was significantly higher in patients with pcos compar...

conclusions twelve weeks of two grams of ginger supplementation showed beneficial effects on some nafld characteristics. further studies are recommended to assess the long-term supplementation effects. results ginger supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transferase, inflammatory cytokines, as well as the insulin resistance index and hepatic...

background: increasing evidence suggests an association between ele­vated serum aminotransferase levels and metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus). however, the significance of relatively low levels of aminotransferases in relation to metabolic disorders has not been fully investigated in the general population. we inves­tigated the association between seru...

Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global disease which its prevalence is about 10-35%. Several factors are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fasting during Ramadan on plasma free fatty acids in patients with NAFLD.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed during the month of Ramadan in June-Ju...

background: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was one of prevalent problems in general population. it was the most common cause of abnormal liver function tests and may lead to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. the role of many factors has been known in nafld. in this study, we investigated the correlation of serum magnesium level and nafld after minimizing the role of major confounding fa...

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease (CLD). Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants co-supplementation have been considered as an alternative treatment in NAFLD. This trial will evaluate camelina sativa oil (CSO) effects as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants on cardiometabolic risk factors, metabolic endotoxemia, liver en...
