Metabolic syndrome represents a complex of many linked to pathobiochemical and pathophysiological factors levels influencing the extremely high risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes mellitus type 2 and other diseases associated with atherosclerosis. NAFLD proceeds favorably without significant morphological changes in most of the patients.
