conclusions we confirmed that serum opg concentrations reduce in obese children. however, no correlation was identified between opg and insulin resistance. opg levels are not meaningful in the diagnosis of nafld in children with obesity. methods this was a prospective, cross-sectional, controlled study that was conducted in the department of pediatrics at bagcilar training and research hospital...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the association between insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) in chinese adults. methods: fifty five subjects with nafld and 55 controls were enrolled for the study. waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose concentrations ...

conclusions this study demonstrated that rt and at are equally effective in reducing hepatic fat content and liver enzyme levels among patients with nafld. however, aerobic exercise specifically improves nafld independent of any change in body weight. results after training, hepatic fat content was markedly reduced, to a similar extent, in both the aerobic and resistance exercise training group...

results no significant correlation was seen in rs3743527 and rs129081 polymorphism’s allelic and genotypic frequencies between the patient group and control individuals (p value > 0.05). the average frequencies of rs129081 g and c alleles was 40 (58%) and 29 (42%), respectively. in our sample the average frequencies of rs3743527 c and t alleles, were 41 (61%) and 28 (39%), respectively. the res...
