摘要
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） encompasses a wide spectrum of fat-induced liver injury, ranging from relatively benign steatosis to cirrhosis and liver failure. The presence of obesity and insulin resistance is strongly associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver and confers on it a greater risk of histologically advanced disease. There is a growing concern in the medical profession as the prevalence of this disease continues to rise in parallel with the rise in obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Treatment options are limited and dietary weight loss is often advised. Low fat diets are difficult to adhere to and recent studies have shown the potential of low carbohydrate diets for weight loss and improving insulin resistance. Thus far, no study has evaluated the effect of low carbohydrate diets on NAFLD. Future studies will be required to address this question and others with regards to the nutritional adequacy and long-term side effects of these diets.
非酒精的脂肝疾病(NAFLD ) 包含大量导致脂肪的肝损伤，从相对良性的脂肪变性到肝硬化和肝失败。肥胖和抗胰岛素性的存在强烈与非酒精的脂肝被联系并且在它上交谈更大的风险组织学地病沉重期。当这疾病的流行继续在肥胖和新陈代谢的症候群与上升同时升起，在医疗职业有一颗成长担心。治疗选择被限制，饮食的重量损失经常被劝告。少脂饮食是困难的遵守，最近的研究为重量损失和改善抗胰岛素性显示出低糖类食谱的潜力。因此远，没有学习在 NAFLD 上评估了低糖类食谱的效果。未来研究将被要求关于营养的足够和这些食谱的长期的副作用探讨这个问题和其它。
