CLN5 and Hyperglycemia: Thereby, this study was designed to detect patients with risk for NASH in an apparently healthy population based on the fact that hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and IR comprise the well-known triad of BMPs altered by obesity and associated with the pathophysiology of NASH [11, 32, 37], whereas elevated values of AST and ALT may reflect liver inflammation and fibrosis [32, 40].
