A low-intensity 10-min resistance exercise program that ameliorated hepatic fibrosis indices and altered G-CSF/IP-10/PDGF-BB in a patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A case report.

ABSTRACT: We developed a low-intensity 10-min resistance exercise program for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We report a case of NAFLD with elevated hepatic fibrosis indices, which were improved by a 60-week daily exercise program. A 71-year-old female patient with NAFLD whose hepatic fibrosis stage corresponded to F2 was referred to our hospital. She performed the exercise once a day with no changes in other lifestyle habits and medications. The homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance value and NAFLD-liver fat score, the Hepamet fibrosis score, and the enhanced liver fibrosis score decreased. The FIB-4 index and serum levels of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer decreased to the reference values. We investigated the changes in chemokines/cytokines. The serum granulocyte-c
