Obesity-related non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and TGF-beta1 serum levels in relation to morbid obesity.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can vary from mild hepatic inflammation and steatosis to cirrhosis, and is most frequently associated with obesity, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and the female gender.
