Serum FGF21 levels are increased in patients with NAFLD regardless of potential confounders and represent an independent predictor of liver steatosis. These findings support further investigation of this molecule in metabolic liver diseases.
Our results suggest that serum omentin levels are raised in patients with NAFLD regardless of potential confounders and represent an independent predictor of hepatocyte ballooning.
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.
