PY - 2010 DA - 2010/03/30 TI - Elevated endotoxin levels in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease JO - Journal of Inflammation SP - 15 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Emerging data indicate that gut-derived endotoxin may contribute to low-grade systemic inflammation in insulin resistant states. This study aimed to examine the importance of serum endotoxin and inflammatory markers in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to explore the effect of treatment with a lipase inhibitor, Orlistat, on their inflammatory status.
