Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and TGF-β signaling pathway by Hideki Kumagai, Akira Sasaki, Akira Umemura, Keisuke Kakisaka, Takeshi Iwaya, Satoshi S Nishizuka

“…Univariate analysis with a linear regression model showed that aspartate aminotransferase (p = 0.045), asporin (p = 0.011), and thrombospondin-1 (p = 0.022) levels were significantly associated with postoperative liver fibrosis. On multivariate analysis, asporin was an independent prognostic factor for postoperative liver fibrosis (95% confidence interval: 0.114–1.291, p = 0.002). …”
