## Abstract Leptin (Lep), a 16โkDa polypeptide hormone, exerts its action through the leptin receptor (LepRb), a member of the class I cytokine receptor family. Both leptin and LepRb probably have been implicated in pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was designed t
Serum ferritin (SF) levels are commonly elevated in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) because of systemic inflammation, increased iron stores, or both. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between elevated SF and NAFLD severity. Demographic, clinical, histologic
