Investigation of the lipid and metabolic profile of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease and is becoming a major global health issue. In addition to the complications of chronic liver disease, increased cardiovascular risk is a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with NAFLD. The aim of the study was to investigate the overall metabolic profile and the lipid profile of HDL lipoproteins in patients with NAFLD to identify the metabolic disorders associated with the condition and to explain the increased cardiovascular risk these patients face. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The metabolic profile of 62 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (confirmed by ultrasound) and 43 healthy volunteers was studied using 1Η-NMR spectroscopy. 1Η-NMR spectroscopy was also used to study the lipid composition of HDL particles in 51 patients with NAFLD, 40 patients with established cardiovascular disease, and 50 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Of the 53 metabolites m ...
