Hepatic expression patterns of inflammatory and immune response genes associated with obesity and NASH in morbidly obese patients.
BACKGROUND: Obesity modulates inflammation and activation of immune pathways which can lead to liver complications. We aimed at identifying expression patterns of inflammatory and immune response genes specifically associated with obesity and NASH in the liver of morbidly obese patients. METHODOLOGY...
