A systematic review of follow-up biopsies reveals disease progression in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver

TLDR
A substantial proportion of patients with NAFL can progress towards well-defined NASH with bridging fibrosis, especially if metabolic risk factors deteriorate, and current monitoring practices of these patients should be revised.

Hepatic NAD+ levels and NAMPT abundance are unaffected during prolonged high-fat diet consumption in C57BL/6JBomTac mice

TL;DR: Hepatic NAD+ salvage capacity is resistant to long-term HFD feeding, and hepatic lipid accumulation does not compromise the hepatic NAD-associated metabolites and enzymes in HFD-challenged C57BL/6JBomTac male mice.

NAFLD and Increased Aortic Stiffness: Parallel or Common Physiopathological Mechanisms?

TL;DR: The published data on the associations between NAFLD and aortic stiffness is reviewed in order to better understand the interplay between these two conditions and identify possible common physiopathological mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose may actively delay progression of NAFLD by releasing tumor‐suppressing, anti‐fibrotic miR‐122 into circulation

TL;DR: A tissue‐cooperative, homeostatic model of NAFLD is proposed, which may explain paradoxical observations of the disease‐associated decrease in intrahepatic production of certain miRNAs with an increase in their levels in serum.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: Synopsis of current developments.

TL;DR: Advances that have occurred in the understanding of the pathogenesis, pathology as well as the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are chronicle.

Factors associated with significant liver steatosis and fibrosis as assessed by transient elastography in patients with one or more components of the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM), as assessed by transient elastography (TE), and different clinical and biochemical parameters in patients with one or more components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a spectrum of clinical and pathological severity.

TL;DR: The outcome of cirrhosis and liver-related death is not uniform across the spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver, and poor outcomes are more frequent in patients in whom biopsies show ballooning degeneration and Mallory hyaline or fibrosis.

The Natural History of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study

TL;DR: Mortality among community-diagnosed NAFLD patients is higher than the general population and is associated with older age, impaired fasting glucose, and cirrhosis, although the absolute risk is low.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver, steatohepatitis, and the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: The presence of multiple metabolic disorders is associated with a potentially progressive, severe liver disease and the increasing prevalence of obesity, coupled with diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and ultimately the metabolic syndrome puts a very large population at risk of forthcoming liver failure in the next decades.
