Understanding the link between Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease is essential. Shared risk factors like obesity and diabetes contribute to both. Pharmaceutical ...

Further analysis showed that Asah1 deficiency increased harmful lipids accumulation, disrupted lipid metabolism, triggered cellular stress, and impaired the cell's waste disposal system.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by excessive hepatic lipid accumulation, poses a high prevalence and can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. To enhance preventive and ...

Further analysis showed that Asah1 deficiency increased harmful lipids accumulation, disrupted lipid metabolism, triggered cellular stress, and impaired the cell's waste disposal system.

Although all patients with NAFLD need aggressive management of cardiovascular risk factors, it is only patients with NASH who need treatment targeted at the liver disease.

In addition, swimming, especially in low temperatures (which results in more energy expenditure), has been shown to stimulate lipid-lipoprotein metabolism in fatty liver.

People who have the genetic lipid disorders familial hypobetalipoproteinemia and abetalipoproteinemia are predisposed to NAFLD, too. Scientists have also identified several risk genes that might ...
