Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may be associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from stimulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. We hypothesized that patients with NAFLD would have a lower concentration of soluble AGEs receptor and higher quantity of serum and liver AGEs and an increase in hepatic smooth muscle actin alpha (α-SMA) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) compared with a control group. We compared the presence of hepatic and serum AGEs, AGE soluble receptor (sRAGE), and markers associated with hepatic damage between NAFLD patients and controls without disease.

Research Design And Methods: Randomized controlled crossover study. Women with IR without T2DM (n = 33; aged 23.
Aim: To analyze the scientific evidence regarding to the effect of the Mediterranean diet on the imaging tests and biopsy characteristics in subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in this narrative review in Pubmed and Web of Science databases, considering studies published between 2011 and 2020, in English or Spanish, randomized clinical trials and observational studies in patients with a diagnosis of NAFLD, in subjects over 18years of age of both sexes.
Results: In the observational studies found, an inverse association between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and liver damage stands out, while in the intervention studies with measurement of liver biopsy a 4.
