conclusions core-lds interaction may be an underlying molecular mechanism to induce liver steatosis in patients with hcv infection. this interaction is also crucial for efficient viral replication and persistence in infected cells. steatosis can also interfere with efficient standard interferon therapy treatment. management of steatosis should be considered along with standard care for achievin...

patients with psychiatric disorders are usually more exposed to multiple somatic illnesses, including liver diseases. specific links are established between psychiatric disorders and alcohol hepatitis, hepatitis b, and hepatitis c in the population as a whole, and specifically in drug abusers. metabolic syndrome criteria, and associated steatosis or non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis (nash) are fre...

â  â  no treatment has been proven to be effective in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and/or steatohepatitis (nash). numerous studies have addressed this issue. however conclusive recommenâ­dations cannot be drawn solely from the currently available studies. hence we performed this systematic review to determine which of the available therapeutic modalities are supported by adequate ev...

background: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is becoming a significant problem especially through substantial increase in the incidence of obesity worldwide. currently it is the most common cause of abnormal serum aminotransferase levels both in low- and middle-income countries and in high-income countries and despite its high prevalence, well-defined screening recommendations are curre...

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 (...

objectives: hyperlipidemia can cause a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and fatty liver which is followed by increased liver enzymes. since berberis vulgaris (b. vulgaris) root possesses antioxidant properties, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect ofits extract on the activity of liver enzymes in rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study,...

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common public health problem. Visfatin is secreted by visceral adipose tissue and is an adipocytokine. It could be a pro-inflammatory adipocytokine and is related to the metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study evaluated the association between visfatin levels in patients with the ...

objectives: liver is one of the most sensitive tissues to oxidant damage. hence, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of melissa officinalis (mo) extract and atorvastatin on the activity of liver enzymes in rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 60 male wistar rats were selected and allocated to six groups (n=10). the control group received a normal diet, sha...
