Liver zonation in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Associations with dietary fructose and uric acid concentrations

摘要

Background & AimsAs dietary components are delivered directly to the periportal zone of the liver lobule, there is the potential for greater injury in this zone (zone 1) compared to the perivenous zone (zone 3). We investigated the associations between dietary fructose consumption and uric acid concentrations and differential zonal injury in periportal and perivenous zones.
