5,6 The terminal steps in DHA synthesis are also complex, with slow conversion of EPA to DHA when the diet provides more than about 2% energy from polyunsaturated fatty acids.6-12 Studies using stable isotopes to trace fatty acid metabolism have shown the amount of labeled 18 : 3n-3 ...

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 36% of adult Americans and 17% of children in the country are obese. Studies link obesity to the accumulation of abdominal fat and fat in the liver, making non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) one of the most prevalent ...
Current management of NAFLD and NASH is largely conservative and includes diet regimen, aerobic exercise, and interventions towards the associated metabolic abnormalities. The primary concern is to prevent progression to end-stage liver cirrhosis and liver failure. Among the most promising medicati...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver condition that affects a quarter of the global adult population. To date, only a few NAFLD risk prediction models have been developed for Chinese older adults aged ≥ 60 years. This study presented the development of a ...
Nutritional Status: Overnutrition, starvation diet and rapid weight loss, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), protein energy malnutrition (PEM), or Celiac Disease Can Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease be Reversed? Standard medical care has not been established for NAFLD. In fact, some people are tol...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common cause of liver disease, affects approximately 75 to 100 million Americans. Patients with concurrent NAFLD and type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of progressing to advanced fibrosis and n

If our food intake exceeds the storing capacity of fat tissue, the fat will build up elsewhere, including in the liver. NAFLD is hence strongly linked with unhealthy lifestyles, mainly from consuming excess calories, having an unhealthy diet and from a lack of physical activity (Fig. 3). ...
non-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseAim: Several studies using experimental non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) models have shown that ezetimibe, an inhibitor of cholesterol absorption mainly in the intestine, not only protects against diet-induced hyperlipidemia, but also attenuates liver steatosis. ...
