Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between plasmatic higher of homocysteine level and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We aimed to investigate this association by conducting a meta-analysis. Literature was searched on PubMed from inception to January 2015. Eight studies evaluating plasma level of homocysteine in biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liv...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which was characterized by the association of fatty liver and lobular hepatitis and chronically elevated plasma levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) in patients with negligible alcohol intake was first identified by Ludwig et al (1). The etiology of NAFLD is not known completely, but it is found in a variety of clinical settings, particularly in those p...

background: some studies  in recent  years showed  that carotid  intima-media   thickness  (imt),  indicator  of  the presence  of atherosclerosis,  was higher  in non-alcoholic fatty  liver disease  (nafld)  in comparison  with  normal subjects.  they concluded  that  nafld  patients  may  be resulted  in more cardiovascular events. hence, we aimed to study the association of nafld and ischemi...

conclusions it seems that dietary quality indices may be associated with nafld. calcium, vitamin d, and antioxidant micronutrients intake might be lower among patients with nafld based on this case-control study. further prospective studies should be conducted in this regard. results patients with nafld had higher body mass index, weight and waist circumference compared to the healthy group (p ...
