Lifestyle change plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In recent years, diet soft drinks that emphasize “zero sugar and zero calories” have become all the rage, but whether diet soft drink consumption is associated with MASLD is not clear.MethodsThis study included data from the National… Continue reading Association between diet soft #drink consumption and #metabolic dysfunction-associated #steatotic liver disease: findings from the NHANES

Multi-omic network analysis identified #betacellulin as a novel target of #omega-3 fatty acid attenuation of western diet-induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis
Clinical and preclinical studies established that supplementing diets with ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) can reduce hepatic dysfunction in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) but molecular underpinnings of this action were elusive. Herein, we used multi-omic network analysis that unveiled critical molecular pathways involved in ω3 PUFA effects in a preclinical mouse model of western diet induced… Continue reading Multi-omic network analysis identified #betacellulin as a novel target of #omega-3 fatty acid attenuation of western diet-induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis
The Potential Role of Vitamin #E in Managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty #Liver Disease: Insights from Japan’s Aichi Medical University Study
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a significant public health concern, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver without excessive alcohol consumption, NAFLD can progress to more severe conditions, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. While lifestyle modifications remain a cornerstone in managing NAFLD, recent… Continue reading The Potential Role of Vitamin #E in Managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty #Liver Disease: Insights from Japan’s Aichi Medical University Study
Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death
Hepatobiliary cancers share risk factors with colorectal cancer (CRC), but there are no combined screening programs for these conditions.AimsThe aim of this study was to assess whether patients with high-risk colonic polyps are more likely to die from liver related tumors than patients with a negative colonoscopy.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis of mortality data, Austrian screening… Continue reading Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death
Dietary Patterns, Foods, and #Nutrients to Ameliorate Non-Alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease: A Scoping Review
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease without pharmacological treatment yet. There is also a lack of specific dietary recommendations and strategies to treat the negative health impacts derived from NAFLD. Objective: This scoping review aimed to compile dietary patterns, foods, and nutrients to ameliorate NAFLD. Methods:… Continue reading Dietary Patterns, Foods, and #Nutrients to Ameliorate Non-Alcoholic #Fatty Liver Disease: A Scoping Review
Association of nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease with #colorectal adenomatous #polyps and non-adenomatous polyps: a cross-sectional study
Aim This study aimed to investigate the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and both colorectal adenomatous polyps and non-adenomatous polyps, in order to provide evidence for the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with NAFLD.Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the First People’s Hospital of Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. The study included 3028 adults who… Continue reading Association of nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease with #colorectal adenomatous #polyps and non-adenomatous polyps: a cross-sectional study
Jaundice: Understanding The Yellowing Of The Skin And Eyes
Jaundice: Understanding The Yellowing Of The Skin And Eyes Introduction Jaundice is a medical condition characterized by the yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It occurs due to an excess of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Jaundice can be a sign of underlying medical issues and… Continue reading Jaundice: Understanding The Yellowing Of The Skin And Eyes
Resistant #starch decreases intrahepatic #triglycerides in patients with #NAFLD via gut microbiome alterations
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of metabolic dysfunction for which effective interventions are lacking. To investigate the effects of resistant starch (RS) as a microbiota-directed dietary supplement for NAFLD treatment, we coupled a 4-month randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial in individuals with NAFLD (ChiCTR-IOR-15007519) with metagenomics and metabolomics analysis. Relative to the… Continue reading Resistant #starch decreases intrahepatic #triglycerides in patients with #NAFLD via gut microbiome alterations
High #parathyroid hormone level as a marker of non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Highlights•Studies have shown that high PTH was associated with NAFLD/NASH, although the results from existing studies are inconsistent.•Using systematic review, 10 and 4 studies reported the association of PTH with NAFLD and NASH, respectively.•The meta-analysis suggested that high PTH can be a marker of NAFLD.•The meta-analysis also revealed that high PTH tended to be associated… Continue reading High #parathyroid hormone level as a marker of non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
