The relationship between resistin and ghrelin levels with fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

They concluded that ghrelin could play a part in the pathogenesis of NAFLD but was not related to the severity of damage.[ 13 ] Furthermore, a little study showed a nonsignificant trend toward higher ghrelin expression in patients with steatohepatitis, simple steatosis and normal liver.[ 14 ] In another study, the authors suggested that an imbalance in adiponectin, leptin, and ghrelin seems to be associated with more severe NAFLD.[ 15 ] In our study, no significant difference was found between two groups in terms of ghrelin levels.
