abstract background: vitamin d supplementation has been shown to decrease insulin resistance through which it might cause fatty liver. fatty liver increasingly results in type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). insulin resistance and fatty liver are particularly closely related. the aim of present study is to examine the effect of vitamin d supplementation on blood sugar and different indices of insul...

Obesity is a chronic multifactorial disease characterized by excess adiposity. Adipose tissue hypertrophy favors lipid deposition in ectopic tissues, such as the liver, which development of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver (MAFLD), excessive accumulation lipids cytoplasm hepatocytes (fatty liver). Triglyceride overload observed obesity associated with inflammation and insulin resist...

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: omega-3 fatty acids have established beneficial effects for cardiovascular disease. the use of omega-3 supplements for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) was proposed. the purpose of this study was to review the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids intake and nafld. methods: in this study, the terms such as nafld, omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexanoic acid, an...

background: liver fatty acid-binding protein (l-fabp) is the main cytosolic binding site for long chain fatty acids in hepatocytes. fabps enhance the uptake of fatty acids into the cell by increasing their concentration due to decreasing concentration of unbound fatty acids inside the cell. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary unsaturated to saturated fatty a...

background: to assess the effect of supplementation with vitamins a, e and c and ω-3 fatty acids on lipid peroxidation in strepto zotocin (stz) induced diabetic rats. methods: sixty four male wistar rats weighting 250g were divided into four groups as normal control, diabetic control, dia betic with vitamin a, e as well as c supplementation and diabetic with ω-3 fatty acids supplementation. aft...

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become a worldwide challenge. Liver biopsy remains the single most reliable approach to determine the severity of this disease. As patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease require close follow-up, performing this invasive method repeatedly seems impractical; therefore, designing a noninvasive system to follow up patients has become a common ...

 Abstract Bckground: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at risk of developing the fatty liver as a result of being overweight. Several studies suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor for liver injury and ischemic hepatitis with OSA. The OSA is an independent risk factor for Insulin resistance. Therefore, we investigated liver enzymes and insulin resistance in patients with O...

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, is associated with increased risk of colorectal adenoma, a precursor of colorectal cancer. Because nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and colorectal adenoma share many common risk factors of metabolic syndrome, the association between these 2 pathological findings has been investigated in multiple studie...
