Objectives: In this study, we examined the association between the hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and visceral fat while controlling for various potential covariates. Next, we plan to explore the correlation between serum Maresin-1 (MaR1) levels and a range of clinical parameters, such as inflammatory cytokines, adipokines, and BMI.

Methods: In this study data from 74 individuals diagnosed with NAFLD was used. After screening, patients aged between 22 and 80 years with a BMI of 20-55 kg/m 2 participated in the study. The HSI score was calculated in all patients using the following formula: 8×(ALT/AST)+ BMI+ 2 (if type 2 diabetes)+ 2 (if female). Partial correlation coefficients were employed for age-and sex-adjusted data. Linear regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between HSI and visceral fat. In the next step correlations between serum HSI and other clinical parameters were …
