Abstract:Circulating fatty acid composition is assumed to play an important role in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the association between the overall balance of serum fatty acid composition and MAFLD prevalence. This cross-sectional study involved 400 Japanese individuals recruited from a health-screening program. We measured fatty acids in serum lipids using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The serum fatty acid composition balance was ev… Show more
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.
