Li et al. have analyzed golgi phosphoprotein 2 (GOLPH2) serum levels in a cohort of patients with liver cirrhosis, healthy controls, and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). They found elevated serum levels of GOLPH2 (sGOLPH2) in early HCC cases. From their findings, the authors conclude th

The rising incidence of obesity and diabetes coincides with a marked increase in fructose consumption. Fructose consumption is higher in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) than in age-matched and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls. Because fructose elicits metabolic pertur
We congratulate Fracanzani and colleagues 1 on their insightful article identifying factors associated with severe liver disease in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and normal aminotransferase levels. First, the authors have convincingly demonstrated that normal alanine aminotr
We read with interest the articles on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements. [1][2][3] We fully agree on the need to standardize HVPG measurements to get reliable, reproducible, and useful data. 1 We also agree that before recommending such measurements in clinical practice, it is nec
Recent animal studies show that endothelial cells in liver sinusoids are the main site for removal of sodium hyaluronate from the circulation. Few data with respect to hyaluronate metabolism are available in man. Serum hyaluronate levels were measured in 119 patients with liver disease by a sensitiv
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, characterized by elevated liver enzymes, central obesity, and insulin resistance, is becoming increasingly prevalent. The effects of changes in physical activity on the metabolic profile of this group have not been reported. We assessed at 3 months the impact of a b
