Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using a large, population-based cohort study database.
Methods: A total of 52,575 participants were enrolled from 2007 to 2013 in the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study cohort. The presence of NAFLD was ascertained by ultrasonography in the absence of other known liver diseases.
Results: Over a median 5.1 years of follow-up, 7,292 participants (13.87%) were diagnosed with NAFLD. In a multivariate-adjusted model, the hazard ratio for NAFLD of the TyG index was 1.413 (95% CI: 1.349-1.480) in the first 6 months, 1.480 (95% CI: 1.408-1.556) in months 6 to 12, 1.427 (95% CI: 1.370-1.485) in months 12 to 18, and 1.246 (95% CI: 1.159-1.339) in months >18. The hazard ratios of triglycerides, glucose, fatty liver index, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance for NAFLD in months >18 were 1.124 (95% CI: 1.061-1.190), 1.037 (95% CI: 0.970-1.109), 1.508 (95% CI: 1.417-1.605), and 1.177 (95% CI: 1.116-1.242), respectively. The NAFLD-free rate decreased with increasing TyG index quartile (p < 0.001). The TyG index level from which the risk of NAFLD increased appeared to be 8.24.
Conclusions: This study found that the TyG index is a simple and easy-to-calculate marker associated with NAFLD.

Adipokines regulate the development and progression of MASLD through organellar oxidative stress.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is increasingly being recognized as a leading cause of chronic liver pathology globally, is increasing. The pathophysiological underpinnings of its progression, which is currently under active investigation, involve oxidative stress. Human adipose tissue, an integral endocrine organ, secretes an array of adipokines that are modulated by dietary patterns and lifestyle choices.

The excessive accumulation of intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) in the liver is a risk factor for metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. IHTG can excessively accumulate owing to imbalances in the delivery, synthesis, storage and disposal of fat to, in and from the liver. Although obesity is strongly associated with IHTG accumulation, emerging evidence suggests that the composition of dietary fat, in addition to its quantity, plays a role in mediating IHTG accumulation.

Background: Adopting appropriate noninvasive radiological method is crucial for periodic surveillance of liver metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after surgery, which is closely related to clinical management and prognosis. This study aimed to prospectively enroll stage II-III CRC patients for the surveillance of liver metastases, and compare the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) and non-enhanced abbreviated MRI (NE-AMRI) during this process.
Methods: 587 CRC patients undergoing radical resection of the primary tumor were evaluated by 1 to 3 rounds of surveillance tests, consisting of abdominal CE-CT and contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) within 7 days at 6-month intervals.

Background And Aims: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction, but its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Exploring plasma circulating metabolites may help in elucidating underlying mechanisms and identifying new biomarkers for SLD.
Methods: We examined cross-sectionally the association between plasma metabolites and SLD as well as liver enzymes using data from 4 population-based cohort studies (Rotterdam study, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study, and Study of Latinos).
