background: the aim of this study was to assess the association between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) in chinese adults. methods: fifty five subjects with nafld and 55 controls were enrolled for the study. waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose concentrations ...

background genome-wide association studies have shown that rs738491, rs2143571, and rs3761472 in the sorting and assembly machinery component 50 homolog (samm50) gene are significantly associated with susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). conclusions we first demonstrated that the rs738491 t allele, rs2143571 a allele, and rs3761472 g allele in the samm50 gene created susc...

conclusions this study demonstrated that rt and at are equally effective in reducing hepatic fat content and liver enzyme levels among patients with nafld. however, aerobic exercise specifically improves nafld independent of any change in body weight. results after training, hepatic fat content was markedly reduced, to a similar extent, in both the aerobic and resistance exercise training group...

materials and methods in this case-control study, using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr), adrs266729 and rs2241766 gene polymorphisms were genotyped in b-type ultrasonography-proven nafld patients, with (n = 246) or without (n = 247) cad and in healthy controls (n = 304). serum lipid profiles were determined using biochemical methods. statistical analyses were performed using spss 17.0 stati...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: there have been few studies to examine the effect of magnesium (mg) supplementation on liver enzymes. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mg supplementation and weight loss on liver enzymes, lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). materials and methods: this study ...

fatty liver disease (fld) is the most prevalent form of liver disease worldwide. overnutrition can induce nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), a spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis [or nonalcoholic fatty liver (nafl)] to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. some of the epidemiological and pathological studies have also suggested an association between the presence o...

background: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is the most common chronic liver disease in the world. oral administration of symbiotic and vitamin e has been proposed as an effective treatment in nafld patients. this study was carried out to assess the effects of symbiotic and/or vitamin e supplementation on liver enzymes, leptin, lipid profile, and some parameters of insulin resistance (...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare biochemical tests, body composition and anthropometric parameters in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) patients before and after ramadan fasting. methods: fifty nafld patients including 33 males and 17 females aged 18-65 year, were recruited. subjects attended after diagnosis based on  ultrasound imaging, with at least 10 hour fasting, before...
