Causes nonalcoholic fatty liver

In recent years the research at home and abroad have shown that the rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver increasingly manifest increased. One danger is that even children have also appeared steatosis nonalcoholic.

Cause GNM not caused by alcohol

There are four main mechanisms causing the accumulation of fat in liver cells, which is due to diet too oily or fatty acids, especially the saturated animal fat or fat to increase the distribution of liver cells ; by increasing the synthesis of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation or reduction of fat in liver cells; by reducing the secretion of fat cells from the liver cells and increased transport of carbohydrates due to liver too much.

GNM by nutrition: food ingredients including unreasonable, fat, too much sugar absorption, poor eating habits, mode of living Disorder (much sitting, sedentary, spirit depression, stress), genetic (family if many people are obese). In that obesity is the cause of GNM common in Western countries.

However in recent years, with the development of economic life - social, redundancy in the diet, especially eating right: too much meat, fat, alcohol use cigarettes ... combined with the pressure of work stress, prolonged stress, sedentary life work, sedentary ... makes proportion of overweight - obesity in our country rose to more than 20% of the population number. GNM is present in 80-90% of patients with obesity and related to the degree of obesity.

GNM hormonal, due to diabetes (diabetes) which is frequently present in patients with diabetes mellitus type GNM 2. This is possible with diabetes are overweight and obese, in addition to the role of increased resistance Triglycerid increase blood insulin, is seen from the perspective of the present time is the metabolic syndrome. In some cases progress to hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver fat. The cause of fatty infiltration of the liver in patients with type 1 diabetes is increasing the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue secondary to blood glucose and insulin concentrations deficiency.

In patients with type 2 diabetes, the cause of the condition is due to increased fatty infiltration of fat and sugar in the diet and increase the metabolism of fatty acids. GNM is improved in patients with type 2 diabetes after removing excess fat and carbohydrates in the diet and reduced body weight.
