The architecture of diagnostic research: From bench to bedside—research guidelines using liver stiffness as an example

Agostino Colli, Mirella Fraquelli, Giovanni Casazza, Dario Conte, Dimitrinka Nikolova, Piergiorgio Duca, Kristian Thorlund, Christian Gluud – 26 November 2013 – The diagnostic research process can be divided into five phases, designed to establish the clinical utility of a new diagnostic test—the index test. The aim of the present review is to illustrate the study designs that are appropriate for each diagnostic phase, using clinical examples regarding liver fibrosis diagnosed with transient elastography, when possible.

Estrogen receptor ligands ameliorate fatty liver through a nonclassical estrogen receptor/Liver X receptor pathway in mice

Steffensen, Yoshimi Nakagawa, Yuka Nakajima, Michiko Suzuki, Shohei Oie, Paolo Parini, Lise‐Lotte Vedin, Hiroyuki Kishimoto, Hitoshi Shimano, Jan‐Åke Gustafsson, Junn Yanagisawa – 26 November 2013 – Liver X receptor (LXR) activation stimulates triglyceride (TG) accumulation in the liver. Several lines of evidence indicate that estradiol‐17β (E2) reduces TG levels in the liver; however, the molecular mechanism underlying the E2 effect remains unclear.
