EXPRESSION OF TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 AND PROINFLAMMATORY TNF AND IL-6 CYTOKINES IN LIVER BIOPSIES OF NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE PATIENTS

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a group of conditions closely associated with obesity that are among the most common and socially significant liver diseases in the modern Western world. The emergence and progression of NAFLD from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with th...
