CORRELATION BETWEEN DYSLIPIDEMIA, PROINFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES AND ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION MARKER IN PATIENTS WITH NONALCOHOLIC LIVER STEATOSIS
We have examined 30 patients with nonalcoholic liver steatosis and 10 healthy people. Lipid spectrum was assessed. Levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6 and vasculoendothelial growth factor were studied. It was found that patients with liver steatosis had increased concentration of endothelial dysfunction marker, which positively correlated with levels of cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and atherogenic index. According to the obtained data it can be supposed, that liver steatosis and dyslipidemia have some common mechanisms in metabolic syndrome.
