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.

Alisol A 24-acetate ameliorates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by inhibiting oxidative stress and stimulating autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR pathway.

TL;DR: The results showed that AA suppressed reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation in a NASH mouse model and inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines and ROS in LX-2 cells in MCD medium, which indicates that AA could be a possible therapy for NASH by inhibiting oxidative stress and stimulating autophagy.

Systems biology approaches for studying the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: It is proposed that a systems approach utilising novel in silico modelling and simulation techniques is key to a more comprehensive, better targeted NAFLD research strategy, which will accelerate the progress of research and vital translation into clinic.

Hepatic Steatosis and Steatohepatitis: Are they Really Two Distinct Entities?

TL;DR: The definitions of simple steatosis and NASH are supported as two distinct entities based on pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis.

Risk factor compositions of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease change with body mass index in males and females

TL;DR: BMI stratification showed distinct risk factor compositions associated with NAFLD in males and females according to BMI and improved the performance ofNAFLD prediction models in each group.

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.
