[[The Modern View on Pathogenesis and Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease].]
Abstract:
The purpose of the review is to analyze modern data on pathogenesis, principles of treatment and future prospects treat- ment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Modern ideas about the role of insulin resistance, oxidative stress gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of disease progression. This has led in recent years to a new strategy of treatment of the disease. Examines the role of physical load, modified diet, the weight loss. Substantiates the primary role of the use of insulin sensitizers, and agents with cytoprotective and antioxidant effect. The lack of the only effective drug for the treat- ment of NAFLD justifies the appropriateness of the appointment of combination therapy with exposure to various aspects of the pathogenesis. Elaborates on new drugs under clinical study.

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...
Overview of Fatty Acid Metabolism
Fatty acids are catabolized in a process called beta-oxidation, which takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria and converts their fatty acid chains into two-carbon units of acetyl groups. The acetyl...
Liver Physiology
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of 70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can...
