Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To clarify the relationship between hepatic the gene expression by serial liver biopsies and peripheral blood leukocytes in NAFLD patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Histological scoring of samples by serial liver biopsies according to Matteoni classification and Brunt classification 2) Analysis of temporal and histological natural history of NAFLD pathology using Linear Mixed Model 3) Diabetic factors (HbA1c, blood biochemistry data, insulin secretory ability, organ-specific insulin resistance determined by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, organ specific cellular fat accumulation determined by MRS and impedance method, blood hepatocaine level, Diabetes treatment etc.) related to liver pathology 4) Analysis of the hepatic gene expression by serial liver biopsies and peripheral blood leukocytes in NAFLD patients by next-generation sequencing 5) Principal component analysis of genes belonging to metabolic pathways (glycolysis system, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, etc.) 6) Hepatic gene expression and variable genes in association with NAFLD pathology 7) Identification of SNPs related to change of liver pathology using DNA in peripheral blood cells 8) Analysis of proteins and metabolites in blood by proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics 9) Measurement of biomarker candidates of NASH such as M2BPGi, ferritin, inflammatory cytokines | — |
