Funded Activity Summary

The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising in parallel with the unfolding obesity crisis, and it will become the most common cause of liver failure in the near future. Bariatric surgery has established benefits in weight loss and type II diabetes remission. Its role in NAFLD is still uncertain. We will explore the role of bariatric surgery in the treatment of NAFLD, as well as investigate cellular and biomolecular changes that occur with weight loss.
