Stay ahead of NAFLD to prevent liver disease progression High rates of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome have led to an increase in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), putting these patients at risk for cardiovascular...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is often associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. To disentangle etiological relationships between these conditions and identify genetically-determined metabolites involved in NAFLD processes, we mapped 1H nu
