    Abstract Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver disorder commonly associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of CVD, has been linked to liver fibrosis. However, the evidence regarding this association is conflicting.
    Aim: To evaluate the link between liver fibrosis and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with NAFLD METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search of four databases from 1950 to February 2023 to identify eligible studies investigating the association between liver fibrosis and subclinical atherosclerosis among patients with NAFLD, utilising the PICOS framework. Two independent reviewers screened the studies; quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was performed using the DerSimonian-Liard random-effects model, and subgroup analysis was conducted based on the severity of liver fibrosis, type of subclinical atherosclerosis diagnosis and geographic region.
    Results: The meta-analysis included 12 studies with a total of 4725 patients. Overall pooled odds ratio (OR) for subclinical atherosclerosis was 2.18 (95% CI: 1.62-2.93), indicating a significant association with liver fibrosis in NAFLD. Subgroup analysis revealed higher ORs in patients with more severe fibrosis: 1.64 (95% CI: 1.22-2.20) in ≥F1, 2.22 (95% CI: 1.37-3.62) in ≥F2, and 3.42 (95% CI: 1.81-6.46) in ≥F3. However, there was no significant difference between the West versus East and various measurements of subclinical atherosclerosis.
    Conclusions: Any degree of fibrosis is significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis, with fibrosis severity amplifying the association.

    Abstract Background: Bariatric surgery is an appropriate treatment for obese patients with metabolic syndrome. Adipose tissue is an active endocrine tissue secreting leptin and adiponectin that affect body metabolism. Nowadays, a high incidence of metabolic syndrome with an increased risk of serious diseases has been detected in Shiraz. This study aimed to assess the levels of leptin and adiponectin as well as the adiponectin-to-leptin ratio in three different bariatric surgeries among obese patients in Shiraz. The results will play an important role in physicians' choice of surgery by distinguishing the effects of these three bariatric surgeries.
    Materials and methods: The serum adiponectin and leptin levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Blood glucose, lipid profile, weight, and liver enzyme level were measured before and 7 months after surgery.
    Results: This clinical trial was conducted on 81 obese patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass surgeries. The results revealed a decrease in fasting blood sugar and triglyceride (TG) levels 7 months after the surgeries. In addition, decrease of body mass index (BMI) was more significantly in the SASI group (12.8 ± 3 4.95) compared to the Roux-en-Y gastric group (8.56 ± 4.61) (
    Conclusion: The three bariatric surgeries were effective in increasing the adiponectin level and decreasing the leptin levels. The surgeries also changed the metabolic risk factors including TGs, high-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, and BMI.
