Journal ArticleDOI
Long term nutritional intake and the risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): a population based study.
Shira Zelber-Sagi,Dorit Nitzan-Kaluski,Dorit Nitzan-Kaluski,Rebecca Goldsmith,Muriel Webb,Laurie Blendis,Z. Halpern,Z. Halpern,R. Oren,R. Oren +9 more
TL;DR: NAFLD patients have a higher intake of soft drinks and meat and a tendency towards a lower intake of fish rich in omega-3 and a higher risk of NAFLD, independently of age, gender, BMI and total calories.
Journal ArticleDOI
A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial of orlistat for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Shira Zelber Sagi,Ada Kessler,Eli Brazowsky,Muriel Webb,Yoav Lurie,Moshe Santo,Moshe Leshno,Laurence M. Blendis,Zamir Halpern,Ran Oren +9 more
TL;DR: Orlistat improves serum ALT levels and steatosis on US in NAFLD patients, beyond its effect on weight reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of leisure-time physical activity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a population-based study.
Shira Zelber-Sagi,Dorit Nitzan-Kaluski,Dorit Nitzan-Kaluski,Rebecca Goldsmith,Muriel Webb,Izabel Zvibel,Ilana Goldiner,Laurie Blendis,Zamir Halpern,Zamir Halpern,Ran Oren,Ran Oren +11 more
TL;DR: Hitual leisure‐time PA, especially anaerobic, may play a protective role in NAFLD, and this association appears to be mediated by a reduced rate of abdominal obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic value of a computerized hepatorenal index for sonographic quantification of liver steatosis.
TL;DR: The hepatorenal sonographic index is a sensitive noninvasive method for steatosis quantification that can diagnose small amounts of liver fat that would be missed by conventional sonography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors for incidence and remission of NAFLD in the general population during a seven-year prospective follow-up
Shira Zelber-Sagi,Shira Zelber-Sagi,Roni Lotan,Roni Lotan,Amir Shlomai,Muriel Webb,Gil Harrari,Assaf Buch,Assaf Buch,Dorit Nitzan Kaluski,Zamir Halpern,Zamir Halpern,Ran Oren,Ran Oren +13 more
TL;DR: Among the general population, weight gain, and baseline insulin resistance are predictor for NAFLD incidence and only weight gain and baseline HOMA were independent predictors for the development ofNAFLD.
