Resumen:
NAFLD participates in the crosstalk with target organs leading to vascular disease and causes a change in the classical paradigm about the role of local vs. distant toxic fat accumulation and deleterious vascular effects. Thus, all of us should take notice of the potential ?secretory/endocrine? role of the fatty liver and its impact on the modulation of systemic phenotypes.
