Arguments for assessing liver mitochondrial function in NAFLD patients.

Increasing Scientific Interest About the Role of Mitochondria in NAFLD
Impaired liver mitochondrial function may occur early during the onset and progression of NAFLD.
General measures for NAFLD can be beneficial to liver mitochondria as well.
Few medications show some beneficial effects on liver mitochondria.
Improved mitochondrial function can contribute to ameliorate other liver dysfunctions in NAFLD patients.
