Funded Activity Summary

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the presence of fat within the liver and is associated with obesity and diabetes. NAFLD occurs in approximately one in seven Australian adolescents and may lead to cirrhosis and endstage liver disease. This proposal aims to determine what genetic and developmental risk factors lead to NAFLD, in addition to examining the role of diet and exercise. This information will lead to better treatments for this condition.
