Major components of metabolic syndrome and nutritional intakes in different genotype of UCP2 −866G/A gene
polymorphisms in patients with NAFLD
Background: It has been suggested that dietary modifications in combination with genetic predisposition play an
important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. In the current study we aimed to investigate the major components of
metabolic syndrome in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nutritional intakes according to
different genotype of uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) −866G/A gene polymorphism in these patients.
