Leptin is a peptide which regulates food intake and energy expenditure. Moreover, it is involved in the homeostasis of body composition and is linked to the regulation of insulin signaling, thus playing an important role in liver fat storage. Steatosis is a common finding in chronic hepatitis C, and both viral and metabolic factors have been suggested to explain the presence of this histological characteristic. In order to study leptin in chronic liver disease characterized by the presence of steatosis, we evaluated its serum levels in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with no histological findings of steatosis, and CHC patients with steatosis but no risk factors for its development.
