Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the progression of severe forms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NADPH oxidase produces reactive oxygen species. In the present study, we investigated for the first time two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory region of genes encoding NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and p22phox (CYBA) in NAFLD. METHODS: A total of 207 biopsy-proven NAFLD...
