Studies on the Relationship between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Diseaseand Homocysteine,Folic Acid and Vitamin B12

Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),a prevalent liver disorder globally,is strongly associated with insulin resistance,obesity,and metabolic syndrome.As individuals grow older,the likelihood of developing metabolic disorders such as hypertension,hyperlipidemia,and abnormal glucose metabolism increases gradually.NAFLD,which often lacks noticeable symptoms,tends to be overlooked.Therefore,it is important to identify early and effective diagnostic indicators in order to control the progression of the disease.Homocysteine is a known risk factor for several chronic illnesses,including cardiovascular disease,diabetes,and NAFLD.Folic acid and vitamin B12 play a significant role in the metabolism of homocysteine.This paper examines the correlation between the three factors and NAFLD,and presents novel concepts for potential clinical diagnostic and treatment approaches in the future.
