Abstract

Alteration in Antioxidant Defense System and Oxidative Stress in blood for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Highlights

  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as steatosis affecting >5% of hepatocytes in the absence of excessive significant alcohol consumption

  • Anthropometric assessment, clinical parameters and biochemical parameters In this cross-sectional study, controls and NAFLD participants were studied for anthropometric assessment, clinical parameters and biochemical parameters

  • Our study indicates presence of metabolic GR activity for NAFLD participants compared to controls syndrome such as high BMI, dyslipidaemia or/and elevated [18]

Summary

Introduction

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as steatosis affecting >5% of hepatocytes in the absence of excessive significant alcohol consumption. The histological spectrum of NAFLD includes non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL; steatosis without hepatocellular injury), steatohepatitis (NASH; steatosis with inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning degeneration), fibrosis and . SGOT: serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase GGT: Υ- glutamyl transferase ALP: alkaline phosphatase GAE: gallic acid equivalent TE: trolox equivalent ROS: reactive oxygen species HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma cirrhosis [1]. NAFLD has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide in the last three decades and a major cause of liver- related morbidity and mortality. Clinical burden of NAFLD is confined to liverrelated morbidity and mortality, but there is a growing evidence that NAFLD is a multi-system disease, affecting several extra-hepatic organs like kidney, lung and heart etc.
