Dietary habits and their relations to insulin resistance and postprandial lipemia in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Dietary habits may promote steatohepatitis directly by modulating hepatic triglyceride accumulation and antioxidant activity as well as indirectly by affecting insulin sensitivity and postprandial triglyceride metabolism.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: From steatosis to cirrhosis

TL;DR: The present “gold standard” management of NASH is modest weight reduction, particularly correction of central obesity achieved by combining dietary measures with increased physical activity, which improves insulin resistance and reverses steatosis, hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis.

Prevalence of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Among a Largely Middle-Aged Population Utilizing Ultrasound and Liver Biopsy: A Prospective Study

TL;DR: Prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and NASH is higher than estimated previously and Hispanics and patients with diabetes are at greatest risk for both NAFLD and NASh.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: Growing evidence suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease beyond that conferred by established risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: The etiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as well as approaches to its management are discussed in this paper, where the authors discuss the etiology and pathogenesis of NFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased intestinal permeability and tight junction alterations in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: In patients with NAFLD, both gut permeability and the prevalence of SIBO correlated with the severity of steatosis but not with presence of NASH, and the increased permeability appears to be caused by disruption of intercellular tight junctions in the intestine.

Insulin sensitivity indices obtained from oral glucose tolerance testing: comparison with the euglycemic insulin clamp.

TL;DR: A novel estimate of insulin sensitivity that is simple to calculate and provides a reasonable approximation of whole-body insulin sensitivity from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death, probably because of complications of insulin resistance such as vascular disease, as well as due to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which occurs in a minority of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fatty acids and eicosanoids regulate gene expression through direct interactions with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors α and γ

TL;DR: Evidence that PPARs serve as physiological sensors of lipid levels is provided and a molecular mechanism whereby dietary fatty acids can modulate lipid homeostasis is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Fatty Acids in the Pathogenesis of Insulin Resistance and NIDDM

TL;DR: Continuously elevated levels of plasma FFAs may play a key role in the pathogenesis of NIDDM in predisposed individuals by impairing peripheral glucose utilization and by promoting hepatic glucose overproduction.
