Pathophysiology
This condition occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells.
What is hepatic steatosis (fatty liver)?
This risk factor wasn’t necessarily sedentary behavior, but may have contributed because Mr. UV’s resistance training alone did not burn enough fat to match his dietary intake.
What is physical activity?
This dietary pattern rich in olive oil, vegetables, and fish is commonly recommended for NAFLD.
What is the Mediterranean diet?
The liver stores this carbohydrate molecule that helps regulate blood glucose levels.
What is glycogen?
These are the main symptoms or side effects of NAFLD progression
What is steatosis and inflammation of the liver?
This disease has a 80-90% prevalence of NAFLD in its population and has been established as a primary risk factor for NAFLD
What is obesity (BMI)?
This type of exercise is time-efficient and great for metabolizing and managing fat stores in NAFLD
What is HIIT
The liver produces this digestive fluid that helps break down fats in the small intestine.
What is bile?
This more severe stage of NAFLD involves inflammation, hepatocyte injury, and fibrosis.
What is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)?
This cluster of conditions including abdominal obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance increases NAFLD risk.
What is metabolic syndrome?
This kind of diet was detrimental to Mr. UV's health and this amount of daily calories consumed significantly increased his risk of NAFLD development (2 part question)
High-Fat, High-Carb diet; ~7150 calories
Despite being essential to survival, humans can live with only about this fraction of their liver.
What is about 1/3 of the liver?
These two liver enzymes were elevated in Mr. UV's blood tests, which are indicative of liver damage
What is ALT and GGT?
This screening tool is not entirely accurate for measuring an important demographic variable across different ethnicities when using standard classifications
What is BMI?
This kind of study is lacking in current NAFLD research and is important for understanding more than just the acute effects of exercise in general?
What are Longitudinal Studies?
This mythological titan had a liver that regenerated daily after being eaten by an eagle.
Who is Prometheus?
