Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is an accumulation of excessive fats on liver without alcohol intake [1]. The progress of NAFL is associated with insulin resistance, obesity and hyperlipidemia [2]. Hyperlipidemia is an increment in one or more of the plasma lipids, including triglycerides (T. Gs), cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids or plasma lipoproteins, including very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and a decrement in high-density lipoprotein levels (HDL-C) [3]. There is a positive correlation between myocardial diseases and elevated LDL-C and VLDL
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
