Abstract
NASH, but not SS, may increase atherosclerotic and cardiovascular risk by local overexpression of mediators of atherogenesis, endothelial damage, and regulators of blood pressure; this observation may have therapeutic implications, because ACE inhibitors may improve both cardiovascular outcomes and liver fibrosis. Hepatocyte hypoxia seems to have an important role in the molecular events activated by liver steatosis.
