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...

This article reviews diagnostic criteria for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), current grading and staging methodology, and diagnostic challenges and pitfalls in routine practice. Current practice guidelines and prognostic and treatment considerations are discussed. The clinical diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease may represent stable disease without progressive liver damage, in th...

BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, its pathogenesis and clinical significance remain poorly defined and there is no ideal treatment. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the short-term (12-week) multidisciplinary therapy on visceral adiposity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease control. METHODS We evaluated and compared the distributi...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by excess accumulation of lipids within parenchymal cells of the liver (ie, hepatocellular steatosis) in the absence of excessive ethanol consumption. Fatty liver disease is widely considered to be the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is estimated to occur in more than 25% of the Western population.1 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disea...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is known in the general public as an epidemic disease. The purpose of this mini-review was to determine a link between physical education (PA) and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) determine the influence of an exercise method (volume and kind of exercise) on being health outcome. Body mass index (BMI) was the good criteria for classifying obesity. I...

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is increasing in pediatric age group parallel to the growing prevalence of obesity and overweight all around the world. so changing in life style and   interventions on obesogenic environment is cornerstone of nafld therapy in obese children. some experts recommend that children and adolescents be encouraged to follow a low-fat, low-glycemic-index diet t...

Background and objectivesMethylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) is the critical enzyme in folate 1-carbon metabolism. MTHFR polymorphisms may result increased homocysteine levels, be associated with abnormal lipid metabolism liver. This study aims to explore association between gene of rs1801131 rs1801133 susceptibility nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) coronary artery (CAD).
