Microbiota analysis and transient elastography reveal new extra-hepatic components of liver steatosis and fibrosis in obese patients
Abstract Obesity could lead to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which severity could be linked to muscle and gut microbiota disturbances. Our prospective study enrolled 52 obese patients whose MAFLD severity was estimated by transient elastography. Patients with severe s...
