Consumption of food that surpasses the metabolic necessity of the body leads to an epidemic condition termed obesity, which causes several metabolic disorders including oxidative damage. Dietary intervention can enlighten the mechanisms and therapeutics associated with these metabolic disorders. The reported studies related to diet include fat of different kinds and from different sources, howe...

BACKGROUND Hypovitaminosis D has been recently recognized as a worldwide epidemic. Since vitamin D exerts significant metabolic activities, comprising free fatty acids (FFA) flux regulation from the periphery to the liver, its deficiency may promote fat deposition into the hepatocytes. Aim of our study was to test the hypothesis of a direct association between hypovitaminosis D and the presence...

Background: Liver resection has been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Improvements in surgical, anesthetic techniques, multidisciplinary collaborations, can reduce post-surgery complications This study aims to provide an overview of the perioperative conditions treatments after liver resection.Method: A retrospective surgery between 2019-2020 at Fatmawati Hospital.Results: Of 11 pa...

aim : the aim of this study was to review cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) cases and to determine the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a cause of elevated alanine aminotransferase (alt) in healthy blood donors in the permian area and also assess risk factors of nafld such as body mass index (bmi) and correlation with metabolic syndrome in these subjects. back...

conclusion the prevalence of nafld in this group of iranian adult general population is 21.5%. nafld in iranian population is associated with male gender, old age, obesity, and features of metabolic syndrome. results 819 subjects were included in this study among which were 340 males (41.5%) and 479 females (58.5%) with the mean age of 43.1 ± 14.1 years. nafld was diagnosed in 176 (21.5%) subje...

Epidemiological studies have shown an increased occurrence of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance (IR) and steatosis in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. IR is believed to represent one of the central clinical features of the "metabolic syndrome" and the major pathogenetic factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. In patients with chronic HCV hepatitis, IR may have several ...

Fatty liver is commonly associated with alcohol or metabolic syndrome. We aimed to examine the longitudinal aspects of fatty liver, and clarify the independent predictors for the development or regression of fatty liver. In the present study, the clinical features of 1578 Japanese adults (1208 men and 370 women; 35 to 69 years of age) who visited our center both in 2000 and 2007-2008 were recor...

Regucalcin, which was discovered as a calcium-binding protein in 1978, has been demonstrated to play a multifunctional role as a suppressor in signaling transduction in various types of cells and tissues. Regucalcin has been shown to regulate intracellular calcium homeostasis, protein kinases and phosphatases, nitro oxide production, protein synthesis, gene expression, cell proliferation and ap...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are linked to the worldwide epidemic incidence of metabolic disorders and fatty liver diseases, which affects quality life represents a high economic cost society. Energy homeostasis exhibits strong sexual dimorphic traits, organs respond EDCs depending on sex, such as liver, orchestrates both drug elimination glucose lipid metabolism. In addition, diseases...
