Association of cell death mechanisms and fibrosis in visceral white adipose tissue with pathological alterations in the liver of morbidly obese patients with NAFLD

The role of visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) in the progression of non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) with its sub entities non-alcoholic fatty liver and steatohepatitis (NAFL; NASH) is underinvestigated. We thus explored mechanisms of fibrosis and regulated cell death in vWAT and liver tissue....
