introduction: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) has become the most common cause of liver disease worldwide. it has been suggested that dietary composition plays a role in nafld pathogenesis; thus, changing dietary patterns may constitute a therapeutic resource even in the absence of weight reduction. the aim of this study was to identify the characteristic of suitable dietary pattern i...

conclusions we assessed polysomnographic parameters of ahi, odi, laso2 and mean nocturnal spo2 levels, which are especially important in the association between nafld and osas. we think that it is necessary to be attentive regarding nafld development and progression in patients with osa whose nocturnal hypoxia is severe. patients and methods in this study, between december 2011 and december 201...

Background: The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is higher in patients with psoriasis than in the normal population. Serum leptin levels are higher in patients with psoriasis and in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum levels of leptin in psoriatic patients with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver.<span...
