METHOD FOR NON-INVASIVE EXAMINATION OF NON-ALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS BY QUANTIFICATION OF CYTOCHROME-c, AND TEST KIT

摘要

It is found that blood cytochrome c levels quantified for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis patients are higher than those for healthy persons, and that the quantified blood cytochrome c values correlated with fat deposition rates in hepatocytes. It is possible to test non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by quantifying cytochrome c in serum. A test method and a test kit for the test are provided.
