OBJECTIVE: Review addressing the variable metabolic origins of liver fat, the importance of postprandial lipid metabolism in relation to liver fat, and the effects of supra-physiological intakes of sugar compared with the established threshold for the adverse effects of sugar on cardio-metabolic risk factors.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the presence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its individual components and to explore their potential associations with dietary habits in terms of food or food group consumption, as well as adherence to the Mediterranean diet, in a sample of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients.

OBJECTIVE: To determine prospective associations between childhood energy intake and markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adolescents and to determine whether any observed associations were mediated through total body fat at the time liver outcomes were assessed. A secondary objective was to explore whether different macronutrients and their subgroups may be driving any associations between energy intake and liver outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To examine and identify associations between anthropometry at different time points, adiposity trajectories from birth through childhood and adolescence, and a subsequent diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) at 17 years of age.

OBJECTIVE: To explore associations between fructose intake and NAFLD, measured by the Fatty Liver Index (FLI) and the NAFLD liver fat score on the basis of blood measurements, in a cohort of ~2000 older adults.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of different amounts and forms of dietary fructose, sucrose, HFCS and SSB (if absolute amount of fructose or sucrose was reported) on the incidence or prevalence of NAFLD and indexes of liver health in humans. Fructose included both free fructose and total fructose (including honey).
OBJECTIVE: To compare the diet and physical activity of healthy controls and of patients with NAFLD vs current recommendations.
OBJECTIVE: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials examining the effect of fructose on markers of NAFLD in humans.
Objective: To observe the lasting effect of a six month dietary intervention in overweight/obese subjects.

Objective: To compare the effects on liver fat levels of glucose and fructose under either isocaloric or hypercaloric conditions
