Perihepatic adipose tissue thickness: a new non-invasive marker of NAFLD?
PATT and waist circumference could represent non-invasive markers predicting the severity of liver damage in NAFLD.
It is suggested that D14 interacts with and thereby may act as a receptor for SLs in plants. This hypothesis offers a starting point to experimentally study the mechanism of its activity in vivo by means of structural, molecular and genetic approaches. Lastly, knowledge of the putative receptor structure will boost the research on analogues of the natural substrates as required for agricultural applications.
