Is dietary energy density favorably associated with dietary diversity score among female university students in Isfahan?
There was inverse significant association between the DDS and dietary energy density in Isfahanian female university students. Further prospective investigations will be needed to confirm this finding.
In mice with equivalent genetic/dietary obesity, NASH development is linked to strain differences in hyperinsulinaemia and hyperglycaemia inversely related to lipid partitioning between adipose and liver. Diabetes-mediated CTGF-regulation of MMPs as well as cytokines/growth factors (Th-2 cytokine predominant, PDGFα, not TGF-β) mobilized in the resultant hepatic necroinflammatory change may contribute to strain differences in NASH fibrosis.
