| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Fatty liver (FL) is a common cause of liver disease in children. Obesity and insulin resistance (IR) play an important role in pathogenesis of FL. Diet has been reported to affect IR and possibly FL. The purpose of this study was to investigate certain parameters (anthropometric, biochemical, dietary intake) of obese Greek children with and without FL. METHODS: Forty-three obese children aged 9-14 (25 boys/18 girls) participated in the study. FL was diagnosed by ultrasonography (US). Liver indexes (ALT, AST, gamma-GT) were measured in all children. A 3-day dietary was recorded for all subjects. None of the subjects were positive for viral hepatitis or had a history of consuming alcohol. RESULTS: Eighteen out of 43 subjects (41.8%) had FL based on US. Intakes of carbohydrates and simple refined carbohydrates were significantly higher in subjects with FL compared to children without FL, while saturated fatty acids (SFA) were proportionally increased to the degree of hepatic steatosis. In multiple regression analysis of factors associated with FL, only HOMA-IR [Beta: 0.160, 95%CI (0.122-1.340), P<0.001] and SFA [Beta: 0.455, 95%CI (0.129-2.129), P<0.001] were the most significant one. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that high intake of carbohydrates and simple refined carbohydrates as well as low intake of fiber may be correlated with the pathogenesis of FL. Moreover, IR and high intake of SFA are independently associated with FL in obese children. |

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.
