 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 22 Tumor necrosis factorand non-alcoholic fatty liver and metabolic syndrome study [Abstract] Objective To investigate plasma tumor necrosis factor-@ (TNF-@) level and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD and metabolic syndrome (MS and its possible role in the relationship. METHODS 122 patients with NAFLD were divided into non-MS group (53 cases and the MS group (69 cases, the other options over the same period patient healthy people (NS) 30 patients served as controls. by radioimmunoassay in three groups of plasma TNF-@ levels were compared. Results MS serum levels of TNF-@ levels significantly higher than non-MS group (P lt;0.05), and the two TNF-@ were higher than NS group (P lt;0.05), NAFLD patients with MS, with the purpose of increasing scores, plasma levels of TNF-@ increased (P lt;0.05). Conclusions TNF-@ in the development of NAFLD and MS, is interconnected between one of inflammatory factors.

Methods 122 patients with NAFLD were divided into non- MS group (n = 53) and MS group (n = 69), 30 healthy subjects undergoing physical examination were enrolled in control group. A radioimmuodetection was used to measure TNF-alpha levels in three groups and compared among three groups. Results 1. TNF-alpha level of MS group was higher than that of non-MS group (P lt;0.05), TNF-a levels of both MS group and non-MS group were higher than that of NS group (P lt;0.05). 2. Patients with NAFLD complicated with more risk factors of MS, plasma TNF-a levels elevated progressively (P lt;0.05). Conclusion TNF-alpha is involved in the genesis and development of NAFLD and MS, and is one of the inflammatory factors that link these two diseases. Keywo
