MICROBIOTA ANALYSIS AND TRANSIENT ELASTOGRAPHY REVEAL NEW EXTRA-HEPATIC COMPONENTS OF LIVER STEATOSIS AND FIBROSIS IN OBESE PATIENTS

Microbiota analysis and transient elastography reveal new extra-hepatic components of liver steatosis and fibrosis in obese patients

Abstract Obesity could lead to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which severity could be linked to muscle and gut microbiota disturbances.Our prospective study enrolled 52 obese patients whose MAFLD severity was estimated by transient elastography.Patients with severe steatosis (n = 36) had higher ALAT values, fasting bl

Pursuing the Potential of Heirloom Cultivars to Improve Adaptation, Nutritional, and Culinary Features of Food Crops

The burdens of malnutrition, protein and micronutrient deficiency, and obesity cause enormous costs to society.Crop nutritional quality has been compromised by the emphasis on edible yield and through the loss of biodiversity due to the introduction of high-yielding, uniform cultivars.Heirloom crop cultivars are traditional cultivars that have been
