Oxidative stress, defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen
species (free radicals) and antioxidant defenses, is discussed in relation to its possible role in the production of tissue damage in
diabetes mellitus. Several studies have suggested that
oxidative stress could play a role in the
pathogenesis of nonalcoholic
fatty liver disease and more precisely in the transition between simple
fatty liver and steatohepatitis. Some studies have suggested that, apart from endotoxins, cytokines, hyperlipidemia and hyperinsulinemia,
oxidative stress could play a role in the
pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic
Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and more precisely in the transition between simple
fatty liver and steatohepatitis (i.e.
fatty liver coexistent with hepatocyte necrosis and inflammation). Innovations are new idea, device or process. Innovations are the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulated needs or existing market needs.
