  2. 6. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease : an emerging liver disease

    Author : Cecilia Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate what NAFLD is from a molecular perspective, what influences the disease progression and what the prognosis of the disease is. Fatty liver has earlier often been associated with excessive alcohol intake and only in the last two decades has it been viewed as a condition in non- drinkers i.e. READ MORE

  4. 7. Understanding the genetic architecture of fatty liver disease

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; Polygenic risk score; Genomewide association studies; Mendelian Randomization;

    Abstract : Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common chronic liver disease, ranging from simple steatosis to more severe conditions, namely non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD has a strong genetic component, and its heritability depends on environmental factors and ethnicity. READ MORE

  5. 8. Role of Fatty Acid Composition in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: a Dietary Perspective : Results from Interventional and Observational Studies

    Abstract : Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly associated with the metabolic syndrome, and due to increasing prevalence of for example obesity it is now the most common liver disease in the world. A minority progress to advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis, which is associated with increased mortality, but it is not entirely clear which patients who have an increased risk of fibrosis. READ MORE
