Introduction: Obesity in childhood increases the risk of fatty liver disease. With respect to the increased prevalence of obesity in Iran and the world, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between fatty liver and obesity in 6 -18 year-old children. Method: In this case-control study, 25 overweight children and 24 obese children, who had inclusion criteria, were selected by conve...

iran annually exports considerable quantities of nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, pista-chios and walnuts. the fatty acid profile of these nut oils as an index of their quality was determined using gas chromatography. results indicated that oleic acid (c18:1) was the major fatty acid in almonds (75.37%), hazelnuts (76.21%) and pistachios (60.49%) fol-lowed by linoleic acid (c18:2), whereas in w...

conclusions fap is an accurate, reliable, and noninvasive approach that can also be combined with other metabolic biomarkers to comprehensively detect and quantify hepatic steatosis. results the difference in fap was significant (p < 0.001) between chb-only patients and chb patients with hepatic steatosis. the cytokeratin 18 fragment (ck18-m65) level was significantly higher in chb patients wit...

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...

The risk of CHD has been linked to n-3 and trans-fatty acids. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the hypothesis that lower n-3 fatty acids and higher trans-fatty acids in erythrocytes are associated with an increased risk of acute non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and that fatty acid profiles can discriminate MI cases from controls. Fifty cases with acute non-fatal MI and fift...

introduction the common isoform of fatty acids in animal and herbal lipids are cis fatty acids, however in some sources such as milk and meat of ruminant, the trans fatty acids are more abundant as compared to the plant lipids. the trans fatty acids are very important because they increase the cardiovascular and heart attack. the heart disorders were increased by enhancing the concentration of ...

ten varieties of iranian soybeans are cultivated in different areas of the country; persia or sahar (sr), hill (hl), williams (wz), gorgan 3 (gn), clarke (kl), hawkey (hk), zaan (zn), harcor (hr), dare (dr) and simes (ss), grown in tropical regions. samples of these 10 varieties were obtained from the institute of plant and seed research. after sample preparation, their oils were extracted and ...

The authors request to correct the figures of Table 4 from '11.80' to '118.00' on the serum free fatty acid of the 3rd column (ED) and from '10.30' to '103.00' on the serum fatty acid of the 5th column (ESL). Also, the authors request to correct all term 'liver index' from 'fatty liver index' on the 21th, 27th, 30th line of left column of page 654 and the 8th line of right column of page 656.
