conclusions turmeric consumption had beneficial effects on serum hcy levels and may be useful in management of this risk factor in nafld patients. background elevated levels of homocysteine (hcy) and fetuin-a are important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in patients with a nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). there is limited evidence regarding the effects of turmeric on nafld. ob...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver (hepatic steatosis). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is characterized by steatosis, liver cell injury, and inflammation. The mechanism of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is unknown but involves the development of insulin resistance, steatosis, inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress. Nonalcoholic fat...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease using nuclear magnetic resonance as a noninvasive method. METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 50 children and adolescents followed up at an outpatient obesity clinic. The subjects were submitted to physical examination, laboratory tests (transaminases, liver function tests, lipid profile, glycemia, ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Some phytochemicals present in coffee have a potential antioxidant role which seems to protect the human body against cardiovascular diseases, liver disease and malignancies. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a common disease with limited therapeutic options. This study investigated the antioxidant effect of coffee by measuring antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation mark...

Many types of innate (natural killer cells, natural killer T cells, and Kupffer cells/macrophages) and adaptive (T cells and B cells) immune cells are enriched within the liver and function in liver physiology and pathology. Liver pathology is generally induced by two types of immunologic insults: failure to eliminate antigens derived from the gastrointestinal tract which are important for host...

many extra-intestinal manifestations are associated with celiac disease. one of the most important of them is hepatobiliary abnormalities. this association is recently under consideration. we report a 34-year-old man with elevated liver enzymes and primary diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. further follow up revealed celiac disease as the proper diagnosis in this patient.

abstract        background and objectives: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disorder and is also currently considered as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. regular exercise training may decrease fatty liver disease complications, although its impact is not yet clear. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of six weeks of aerobic training on liver...

Obesity and related disorders are a common cause of morbidity worldwide. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most important hepatic consequence of adipose accumulation. There is strong evidence of obesity-related disorders as risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma and of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of hepatocellular carcinoma, but it is apparently less important than othe...

OBJECTIVE Although the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was first identified in 1980, it presents multifactorial and unclear pathophysiology. In this review, we intend to update the pathophysiological mechanisms of a high morbidity and mortality associated disease that is affecting obese children worldwide. DATA SOURCES The PubMed and the Cochrane Library databases were used in the search str...
