“…Brouwers et al suggested that plasma lipids act as the major mediators in the relationship between NAFLD and CVD [3]. The characteristics of subjects in this study showed that NAFLD patients possess the higher levers of BMI, AST, ALT, TG, LDL, GGT, and decreased level of HDL compare to health controls, that is consistent with the changes of serum lipids pro les in patients with NAFLD in previous studies [32,[35][36][37]. In the overall series in this study, we found that AGT rs2493132 T allele carriers were likely to possess the higher serum TC and LDL levels compared to the non-carriers.…”

“…MS is a lethal endocrinopathy involving a chain of systemic disorders such as abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, hypertension and CAD. Nowadays many epidemiological and clinical studies are focused on the association between NAFLD and CAD [ 2 , 3 ]. Several studies have reported that NAFLD was a strong independent risk factor for CAD in different racial group and with different research methods [ 4 6 ].…”

“…Some reports demonstrated that because of the promoting effect on CVD, NAFLD patients were at high risk of death [ 8 , 10 ]. Nowadays many epidemiological and clinical studies focus on the association between NAFLD and CAD [ 19 24 ]. Several studies have reported that NAFLD is a strong risk factor for CAD [ 25 , 26 ].…”
