[Infographic] Alternative NAFLD and NASH Screening Methods
Download our infographic to understand the prevalence of NAFLD and NASH, as well as how biomarkers can serve as alternative NAFLD and NASH screening methods.   Download Now Estimated Global Prevalence of NAFLD Research confirms that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has an es...
Emerging Biomarker Research in NAFLD and NASH
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the western hemisphere affecting 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children1.  Today, liver biopsies are the only gold standard for precise diagnosis of NAFLD2. Because of this, there are tremendous efforts on the ...
The Impact of Adiponectin in NAFLD and NASH Research
Date: March 7, 2017 Lately, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have been widely discussed in both the clinical and research communities. Some of the focus has been related to alternative research methods that can improve diagnostic and monitoring meth...
The Role of Bile Acids in Inflammation
Presented by: Evelyn Zöhrer, PhD; Medical University of Graz Bile acids act as emulsifiers and promote the absorption of lipids. In addition to the facilitation of digestion, bile acids are now being recognized as key players in the regulation of a myriad of metabolic processes. As such, the role...
Leveraging Non-Invasive Approaches in NAFLD and NASH Diagnosis and Clinical Research
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) / nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is anticipated to become the next major health epidemic. NAFLD is a chronic disease ranging from fatty liver to NASH to advanced end stage liver failure. Currently, liver biopsy is the gold standard for clinical diagnosis...
Adipokines and Adipose Tissue-Liver Crosstalk in Energy Metabolism
Research over the past several decades examining adipokines and adipose tissue-liver crosstalk in energy metabolism has revealed that adipose tissue is a very important metabolically active endocrine organ1. White, brown, and beige adipose tissue generate and secrete adipokines, such as adiponectin ...
Obesity Induced Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and NAFLD
Obesity is a known risk factor for developing metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)1. An increasing amount of evidence shows that obesity induced adipose tissue dysfunction and NAFLD development are closely related2. Obesity induced changes to adipokine secretion can h...
Researching the Role of Gut Permeability in NAFLD
[playlist images="false" artists="false" tracklist="false" ids="4600"] A growing amount of research demonstrates that communication between the gut microbiota and liver is vital for the regulation of energy metabolism1,2. As a result, scientists are further...
Organ Crosstalk in Obesity and NAFLD
The liver is vital to various metabolic functions including lipid and glucose metabolism. In order to maintain homeostasis, efficient gut-liver and adipose tissue-liver communications are needed1,2. Research indicates that obesity induced dysfunctions within these crosstalks can lead to imbalances i...
Insulin Resistance: Root Causes, Detection, and Prevention
The Diabetes Pandemic According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization, more than 34 million Americans and 422 million people worldwide have diabetes.1,2 90 to 95% of people with diabetes have type 2.1 The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and K...

Understanding Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Pancreatic Elastase (PE) Testing for Determination of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) Advantages of ALPCO PE Testing for Determination of EPI • No interference from PERT • Single sample collection without dietary restriction • Detection of both CELA3A and CELA3B isoforms • Compatibi...
Celebrating Diabetes Research
In honor of scientists and researchers in the field of diabetes, we've compiled a partial list of their 2023 published work. These publications aren't just studies; they're milestones on the path to a healthier future, made possible by their dedication.  What makes this list so ...
Role of IGF-1 in the Growth Hormone/IGF Axis
The Growth Hormone/IGF axis consists of IGF-1, IGF-2 and several high and low affinity IGF Binding Proteins (IGFBP). The whole system is tightly regulated by a feedback loop involving Growth Hormone (GH) secreted by the pituitary, and GH production and secretion controlled by Growth Hormone Releasin...
Vitamin D Metabolism and Function
Understanding Vitamin D Metabolism & Function Vitamin D is a steroid hormone involved in the intestinal absorption of calcium and the regulation of calcium homeostasis, bone differentiation and immune response. The term "vitamin D" refers to several different forms of this vitamin. ...
Toxicology
Drug-Induced Organ Injury Toxicological side effects are a common obstacle in drug development pipelines and often manifest in site-specific damage to vital organs, including the liver, kidney and heart. Estimates of compound attrition from failure to meet safety endpoints are as high as 45% in pre...
Understanding the Role of Energy Homeostasis in Diabetes
Introduction The prevalence of diabetes and obesity has been on the rise for several decades and research has demonstrated that other parts of the body, including the cardiovascular system and kidneys, can be affected by diabetes. The key to understanding the relationship between diabetes and the...
Heart Disease Biomarkers in Diabetes Research
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a constellation of diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Despite efforts to understand and combat CVD complications from diabetes, 65% of diabetics will pass away from cardiovascular issues1. Part 2 of The Common Denominator eBoo...
Physiological Actions of Natriuretic Peptides
Introduction Humans have at least 50 discovered hormones managing vital biological functions in the body. These hormones are produced by the body’s organs and glands. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are structurally related hormones synthesized and released from the heart, including atrial natriuretic p...
