| Abstract | Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can be found in approximately 30% of adults in industrialized societies. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is its most severe histological form and progresses to cirrhosis in 20% of these patients. Once developed, 30% to 40% of patients with cirrhosis will suffer liver-related death. NAFLD is considered the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Recent findings linking the components of metabolic syndrome with NAFLD and the progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis will be reviewed; in particular, the role of visceral adipose tissue, insulin resistance, adipocytokines, oxidative stress and diminished antioxidants within the liver in the exacerbation of these conditions. It is now widely accepted that non-hepatic mechanisms are largely responsible for the development of insulin resistance, which causes hepatic steatosis. Insulin resistance, a key feature of metabolic syndrome, is crucial for NASH development. We have a classical chicken-egg problem: insulin resistance causes hepatic steatosis or vice-versa? A possible sequence of the pathogenetic events is the following: increased free fatty acid supply - increased de novo lipogenesis - triglyceride and VLDL overproduction - atherogenic dyslipidemia- oxidative stress (lipid oxidation and peroxidation) - exhaustion of antioxidant defense system- 'Tsunami' of inflammatory cytokines- fibrosis- carcinogenesis. Given the strong association of NAFLD with metabolic syndrome, early recognition, assessment and management are essential. The management emphasizes weight reduction and attention to global cardiometabolic risk factors, similar to recommendations for management of the elements of metabolic syndrome. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
