nonfatty

Persons with high blood pressure, extreme levels of bad cholesterol, insulin resistance or diabetic-prone and enormous amounts of belly fat are prone to nonfatty liver disease.

However, they may contain thin enhancing septa, be unencapsulated, or have heterogeneity due to regions of fat necrosis, infarction or nonfatty tissue, and creating concern for ALT/WDLs on MRI interpretation [1, 2, 6, 9].

In investigating the SNP rs2645424 polymorphism of this gene in hepatitis C patients, it was found that this polymorphism was associated with advanced fibrosis in patients with a nonfatty liver [34].

Sometimes a layer of hard fat, called the deckle, is present between the two muscles on the nonfatty side.

The women were requested to fast or eat a light, nonfatty breakfast no later than 2 hr before the blood sampling.

Comparisons of characteristics and variables between fatty liver and nonfatty liver groups were performed by using a two-sample independent t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test for numerical variables and a Pearson chi-square test or the Fisher exact test for nominal variables.

Using standard imaging characteristics (i.e., large size, thick septa, nodules, and nonfatty areas) provides high sensitivity but poor specificity for the diagnosis of ALT due to overdiagnosis of ALT/WDLS from imaging findings [23].

(25) Lipomas are usually easily discernible from nonfatty lesions, as they characteristically demonstrate T1 and T2 hyperintensity, with signal dropout on fat-saturated sequences.

The higher digestibility coefficients in lipid-supplemented animals can be attributed the fact that nonfatty acids lipids in the diet (likely approximately 1% of DM) are relatively indigestible, and diluting this fraction (waxes, etc.) with more fatty acids increases the digestibility of the EE fraction.

[sup][20] included 466 nonfatty solid renal masses to evaluate the clinico-radio-pathologic features of a solitary solid renal mass at MDCT examination and concluded that MDCT accuracy for detection of RCC was 94%.
