| Collection Summary: | A convenience sample of 98 NAFLD cases and 100 healthy controls aged 36 to 78 years, who are long-term participants in the HWCS was used for the current pilot study. The inclusion criteria for this study were having a hepatologist-confirmed diagnosis of NAFLD for the cases, and a history of normal ALT and AST results (< 40 U/L) plus a normal ultrasound elastography result for the controls. Liver enzymes (ALT, AST), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, glucose, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and blood pressure were measured. Participants reported fasting for ≥12 h at blood draw. Serum samples that were collected during 2011–2013 and stored at − 70 °C, as well as self-reported data and laboratory results that were obtained during the same time period, were used for the cases and controls. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34629052/ |
