Correlation between COVID-19 severity, body mass index and radiological hepatic morphology

Int. j. morphol; 39 (4), 2021
SUMMARY: Obesity and fatty liver steatosis are already considered metabolic risk factors which may aggravate the severity of COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the correlation between COVID-19 severity, obesity, and liver steatosis and fibrosis. 230 consecutive patients with laboratory-confirmed CO...

Liver structural injury in leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice: lipogenesis, fibrogenesis, inflammation, and apoptosis

Int. j. morphol; 39 (3), 2021
SUMMARY: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) might progress the steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), reaching a cirrhosis state and possibly hepatocellular carcinoma. The liver of three-month-old C57BL/6J mice (wild-type, WT group, n=10) and leptin- deficient obese mice (ob/ob group, n=...

Sericin as treatment of obesity: morphophysiological effects in obese mice fed with high-fat diet

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the effects of sericin extracted from silkworm Bombyx mori cocoon on morphophysiological parameters in mice with obesity induced by high-fat diet. Methods Male C57Bl6 mice aged 9 weeks were allocated to one of two groups - Control and Obese, and fed a standard or hig...

High-Lard and High-Cholesterol Diet, but not High-Lard Diet, Leads to Metabolic Disorders in a Modified Dyslipidemia Model

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (5), 2019
Abstract Background: In view of the increased global prevalence of cardiovascular and hepatic diseases, the diet lipid content and its relationship with the accumulation of fat in hepatocytes have been investigated as key factors in preventing these diseases. Objective: To evaluate the metabolic effect...

Resolution of fatty liver disease after growth hormone replacement in a pediatric survivor of thyroid cancer

Abstract Background A rare case of primary papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and growth hormone (GH) deficiency in a pediatric patient is described. In addition, the patient developed fatty liver disease attributed to GH deficiency. Case report A 10-year-old male with a history of PTC with extension to th...

¿Qué hay en común entre el hígado graso agudo del embarazo y la preeclampsia? Subdiagnóstico clínico de alta mortalidad

Rev. MED; 27 (1), 2019
Resumen: El hígado graso agudo del embarazo es una de las alteraciones hepáticas con mayor mortalidad (cerca del 18%) presentes en la gestación, aunque es una patología poco frecuente: 1 de cada 7000 a 16.000 embarazos presenta muchas complicaciones y requiere un manejo inmediato para evitar la muert...

Steatosis and steatohepatitis found in adults after death due to non-burn trauma

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: With the increasing prevalence of steatosis, the number of steatotic liver grafts from deceased donors is also increasing. Thus, determining the prevalence and the population risk factors of steatosis may assist in risk stratification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and p...

Exenatide ameliorates hepatic steatosis and attenuates fat mass and FTO gene expression through PI3K signaling pathway in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease associated with metabolic syndrome and can lead to life-threatening complications like hepatic carcinoma and cirrhosis. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist antidiabetic drug, has the capacity to overcome insulin resis...

Liver biopsy may facilitate pancreatic graft evaluation: positive association between liver steatosis and pancreatic graft adipose infiltration

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: The number of pancreatic transplants has decreased in recent years. Pancreatic grafts have been underutilized compared to other solid grafts. One cause of discard is the macroscopic appearance of the pancreas, especially the presence of fatty infiltration. The current research is aimed at und...

Efecto de estimulaciones infrarrojas sobre hepatoesteatosis microvesicular alcohólica de ratas

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
24 ratas hembras de 4 meses de vida con peso aproximado de 250 gramos fueron divididas en dos grupos de animales, A y B. Ambos grupos se mantuvieron con pellet y solución de alcohol 40% durante 60 días generándoseles una hepatoesteatosis microvesicular. Los hígados de los animales pertenecientes al g...
