Fatty Acids, Genes and Microbiota in Fatty Liver
Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis Versus Simple Hepatic Steatosis: Is There a Difference in the Nutritional Factors Influencing Lipid Perioxidation and Inflammation?
Panoramica dello studio
Stato
Descrizione dettagliata
NASH is associated with obesity, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Fat accumulation in the liver is likely due to variable degrees of disordered fatty-acid metabolism and insulin resistance (IR). Liver steatosis, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the liver, increases lipid peroxidation and is associated with a reduction in the antioxidant defense system. This oxidative stress can lead to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, transforming growth factor-beta) contributing to the development of steatohepatitis and fibrosis.TNF-α - may further contribute to IR. In addition, changes in fatty acid composition within the liver may influence lipid metabolism and inflammation. In particular, n-3 PUFA have an effect on the insulin sensitivity, transcription of antioxidant genes, inflammatory response and production of reactive oxygen species. Differences might be seen on the gene expression level (mRNA) and also in epigenetic regulation (miRNA).
Microbiota composition might influence energy metabolism, and inflammatory tone and IR through increased endotoxemia and therefore could also play a role in the development of NAFLD.

Descrizione
Inclusion criteria:
- Male and female patients, age >18 y

Coorti e interventi
Gruppo / Coorte |
|---|
|
Healthy controls
Healthy living liver donors with healthy liver on imaging and/or liver histology
|
|
Simple steatosis
Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease confirmed by liver biopsy with a diagnosis of simple steatosis
|
|
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease confirmed by liver biopsy with a diagnosis of steatohepatitis
|
|
Minimal findings
Patients undergoing liver biopsy because of suspected fatty liver but nonspecific findings on liver histology.
This group was initially used as a control group.
Later in the study, this group was replaced by healthy donors as true healthy controls.
