Binge eating can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, increasing the likelihood of developing diabetes
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and the smallest and most dense lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), are assembled in both the liver and the intestine
Increases in GGT levels, therefore, are an indicator of an increased demand for glutathione synthesis, likely due to xenobiotic exposure, an association which appears to be well-supported
Risk stratification and monitoring are important components of NAFLD care
Somatostatin, the endogenous inhibitor of growth hormone release, rises after meals (particularly high-carbohydrate or high-fat meals) and during periods of elevated blood glucose or free fatty acids
ATF4 deficiency promotes intestinal inflammation in mice by reducing uptake of glutamine and expression of antimicrobial peptides
