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

    Author : Michael Fridén; Ulf Risérus; Fredrik Rosqvist; Helen Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fatty acids; Diet; Biomarkers; NAFLD; Liver fat; Fibrosis; Cirrhosis; HCC; Nutrition; Nutrition;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate the role of circulating, liver and dietary fatty acids in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). For circulating and liver fatty acids, special emphasis was given to fatty acids reflecting diet. READ MORE

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

    Author : Jamialahmadi Oveis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    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. MST3 and MST4: Critical Regulators of Liver Lipid Partitioning and Hepatocarcinogenesis

    Author : Mara Caputo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; hepatocellular carcinoma; STE20-type kinases; MST3; MST4; lipid droplets; antisense oligonucleotide treatment; fibrosis;

    Abstract : Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a disease spectrum ranging from hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and finally cirrhosis. With no approved pharmacological treatment, NAFLD is currently the most common etiology of chronic liver disease in Western countries and its prevalence continues to grow. READ MORE
