Oxidative stress is associated with suspected non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and all‐cause mortality in the general population

Background & Aims Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excessive lipid accumulation, inflammation and an imbalanced redox homeostasis. We hypothesized that systemic free thiol levels, as a proxy of systemic oxidative stress, are associated with NAFLD. Methods Protein‐adjusted serum free thiol concentrations were determined in participants from the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End‐Stage Disease (PREVEND) cohort...
