    Department of Internal Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham Liver Center, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA
    Liver Transpl 8:391-6. 2002
    ..Nevertheless, pulse oximetry can be a useful screening tool to detect arterial hypoxemia in patients with cirrhosis, but a higher threshold for obtaining an ABG must be used...

    Kamran Qureshi
    Department of Pathology, University of Alabama, Birmingham, AL, USA
    Obes Surg 18:264-70. 2008
    ..We evaluated the validity of a recently proposed "NAFLD fibrosis score" to identify liver fibrosis in morbidly obese individuals with elevated and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels...

    Biochem J 417:183-93. 2009
    ..These findings indicate that chronic exposure to a HFD negatively affects the bioenergetics of liver mitochondria and this probably contributes to hypoxic stress and deleterious NO-dependent modification of mitochondrial proteins...
