Demographics 406Pathophysiology 406Differential diagnoses 407Presenting features 407Investigation 408Management 409Fatty liver disease is now increasingly recognized in children, particularly in the setting of obesity.The term non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was first coined in 1980 by Ludwig to describe a pattern of liver injury in adults in which the liver histology was consistent with alcoholic hepatitis, but in whom significant alcohol consumption was denied. NASH can be considered as part of a broader spectrum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that extends from simple steatosis through steatohepatitis that is characterized by the potential to progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis and subsequent end stage liver disease....

Alcohol is metabolized in liver. Chronic alcohol abuse results in alcohol-induced fatty liver and liver injury. Red quinoa (Chenopodium formosanum) was a traditional staple food for Taiwanese aborigines. Red quinoa bran (RQB) included strong anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory polyphenolic compounds, but it was usually regarded as the agricultural waste. Therefore, this study is to investigate the effect of water and ethanol extraction products of RQB on the prevention of liquid alcoholic diet-induced acute liver injury in mice. The mice were given whole grain powder of red quinoa (RQ-P), RQB ethanol extract (RQB-E), RQB water extract (RQB-W), and rutin orally for 6 weeks, respectively. The results indicated that RQB-E, RQB-W, and rutin decreased alcoholic diet-induced activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, and the levels of serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and hepatic triglyceride. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver tissues showed that RQB-E and RQB-W reduced lipid droplet accumulation and liver injury. However, ethanol extraction process can gain high rutin and antioxidative agents contents from red quinoa, that showed strong effects in preventing alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver injury via increasing superoxide dismutase/catalase antioxidative system and repressing the expressions of fatty acid synthesis enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
