The activities of antioxidant stress-related enzymes (reduced GSH, GSH-Px, H2O2 and SOD) in the heart, lung and kidney tissues of the OBS group, ATM group and OBS+ATM group were significantly decreased.
Moreover, the IAF area was positively correlated to 8-iso-PGF2α and MDA, and negatively correlated to SOD.Oxidative stress is significantly associated with the IAF area in obese males, and abdominal obesity could increase oxidative stress level and insulin resistance.
Higher MPO and SOD levels showed multiple positive associations with cardiometabolic risk factors including age, indices of obesity, insulin resistance, serum lipids, renal dysfunction, and biomarkers of inflammation.
Our findings show that the anti-angiogenic herbal extract ALS-L1023 attenuates NAFLD by targeting VAT during obesity, suggesting that angiogenesis inhibitors could aid in the treatment and prevention of obesity-induced human NAFLD.
