Prevalence and risk factors of fatty liver in Portuguese adults.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are increased in situations with hyperglycemia and oxidative stress such as diabetes mellitus. They are products of nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins and lipids. The kidney plays an important role in clearance and metabolism of AGEs. METHODS:Medline and ...
