Adipocytokine expression associated with miRNA regulation and diagnosis of NASH in obese patients with NAFLD
29 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with visceral adiposity. The secretion of adipocytokines from white adipose tissue (WAT) promoting necroinflammation, and/or fibrosis may play important roles in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatits (NASH). In a previous study, reduced expression of a number of miRNA species in WAT concomitant with histological...
