Personalised Medicine for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a chronic and dangerous condition which has grown in prevalence over recent decades due to increasing rates of obesity, affecting roughly a quarter of adults globally. This thesis develops a useable NAFLD definition which can be applied to large …

Non-invasive diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the top concerns for the practising hepato-gastroenterologist due to the obesity epidemic and its potential to progress to an advanced liver disease that significantly impacts on overall and liver-related mortality. Due to the rapidly …

Engineering in vitro models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
… the world. Consequentially, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is highly correlated with obesity, rates are also increasing with greater than 30% of the US population currently diagnosed. NAFLD starts as a benign state of fat accumulation within liver hepatocytes but often …

Strategies to Decrease Incidence of Fatty Liver in Dairy Cows
… strategies to decrease lipid accumulation in the liver after parturition. In experiment 1, 75 cows (30 primiparous) were fed controlled-energy, high-forage (CEHF) diets or were overfed energy (OVERFED) from dry-off to parturition, or CEHF for the first 40 d after dry-off, followed by OVERFED for …

Hepatoprotective properties of Gentiana SPP: Against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disease characterised by the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is estimated that 33 % of the UK population have NAFLD with 2-5 % progressing to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Due to a lack of an outright therapy for NAFLD, treatment …

Dietary broccoli impedes Western diet-enhanced fatty liver and hepatocellular carcinoma development
Liver is the metabolic center for energy homeostasis in our body, maintaining a balance between carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The “Westernized” dietary pattern, which is known for high saturated fat and refined sugar and rooted in the lifestyle of a large proportion of the world’s population, …

Aerobic exercise training as a mitigator of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related fibrosis
… Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a liver disease that is associated with obesity and is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis (scar tissue) within the liver. This condition is difficult to study in humans, therefore rodent models often are used to better understand factors that …

Correlation of Hepatic 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake with Fatty Liver and Liver Function Tests
Liver demonstrates heterogenous FDG uptake pattern and sometimes shows abnormally increased uptake even though there is no malignant tissue. There was no previous study to correlate these various pattern of hepatic FDG uptake with benign liver disease. Therefore, we evaluated the significance of …

Effect of the ligands of thyroid hormone receptor on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
The term non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been used as a general name for conditions ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. End-stage NAFLD cirrhosis carries a substantial risk for early hepatocellular carcinoma development. Therefore, there …

Mechanisms into the development of fatty liver disease: role of free fatty acids and alcohol
Background: Alcohol and Free fatty acids such as palmitate are known to promote liver injury. However less mechanistic information is available regarding omega fatty acids ratios with/out alcohol. In healthy populations omega 6/3 ratios are between 1:1 to 4:1, whereas high ratios (>15:1) are …

Mechanisms into the development of fatty liver disease: role of bile acids, Betaine and MHY908
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging epidemic worldwide. It is a metabolic condition that etiologically parallels with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. However, the pathogenesis of NAFLD remains elusive, though it is known free fatty acids such …

Effects of vitamin D on pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
ABSTRACT|Non- alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder in the United States, affecting approximately one-third of the population. The prevalence of NAFLD increases to 90% in morbidly obese individuals. Many studies have shown a negative association between …

PKC-δ and Insulin Resistance in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Effect of Vitamin D
ABSTRACT|Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to excess ectopic fat deposit in the liver of nonalcoholic is a broad spectrum of liver diseases encompassing simple liver steatosis to more complicated and morbid steatohepatitis (NASH) that can lead to cirrhosis and even to hepatocellular …

A systems biology approach to the pathogenesis and progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to a spectrum of diseases ranging from simple steatosis (isolated hepatic fat accumulation) to steatohepatitis (NASH; hepatic fat accumulation with lipotoxicity, hepatic cell damage and inflammation), eventually progressing to fibrosis, cirrhosis and …
