No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. It is not known why only some obese subjects develop NAFLD. In recent years, a growing body of evidence showed a crucial role of autophagy in in the regulation of liver fat storage. The purpose of this study is to determine whether autophagy pathway-related genetic polymorphisms affect NAFLD.
