Conclusions Many endocrine derangements are associated with NAFLD through changes in
energetic and glicolipidic homeostasis and/or a central shift in body fat distribution (Fig. 3).
However, the relationship between endocrine hormones and cytokines and tissue
expression of adipokines are unexplored. To this end, the liver in patients with endocrine
disease and the (often sub-clinical) endocrine derangements in NAFLD should be evaluated
systematically. Finally (Table 2), the endocrine perspective of NAFLD
