ADV36 adipogenic adenovirus in human liver disease

Figure 6 After a comprehensive nutritional and lifestyle intervention, the improvement is more relevant in ADV36 seropositive than in ADV36 seronegative non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients: a greater decrease of insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment) and of overweight (body mass index) was achieved in ADV seropositive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients (A) and the odds of bright liver persistence is associated with lack of insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment) and body weight (body mass index) decrease, while a relevant association with improvement, i. e., bright liver disappearance, is observed in ADV36 seropositive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients (B). BMI: Body mass index; HOMA: Homeostasis model assessment; NAFLD: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
